December is the perfect time to help families with babies AND get a free day at Busch Gardens in the Spring!
Busch Gardens is joining the Greater Williamsburg Community Resource Center to help families in need of basic baby supplies this Christmas season.
On Friday, December 9, 2011 from 2 p.m. – 7 p.m., anyone who donates a “baby tool kit” or “baby bedtime kit” at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg will receive a 2012 single-day admission to the theme park valid through May 25, 2012. Please note that all items must be in new condition and in their original packaging.
A baby supply donation station will be set-up in Busch Gardens’ England parking lot near the park’s pet kennels. Click on the events link at www.facebook.com/buschgardens for complete details.
“We are always looking for meaningful ways to give back to our home community and this Christmas season is the perfect time to give to those in need,” said Park President Carl Lum. “The Baby Kit program and the Greater Williamsburg Community Resource Center help families by providing the basic supplies to raise healthy babies.”
