Tired of selling candy bars and magazine subscriptions? Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom has a great fundraising program that may work for your non-profit organization. By spending a day working at the Park, non-profit organizations can earn money and have fun at the same time!
The Booster Bucks Fundraising program allows non-profit organizations to volunteer as a group at Dorney Park. Groups participate by working in an assigned position in the park. We can accommodate groups ranging in size from five to twenty people. All volunteers must be at least 16 years of age or older (18 for most positions).
The amount of the donation to your organization from Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom is based on the number of people in your group that volunteer their time at the Park. Each shift is approximately eight hours in length. Starting and ending times vary - see the Booster Bucks Calendar for details.
Payment will be made to your organization within three weeks from the date worked. Groups that do not work the entire 8 hour shift will be prorated at $6.25 per hour per volunteer worked.

The term "illegal use of drugs" includes the use, concealment, possession, manufacture, sale, purchase, transportation or distribution of illegal drugs; the use, concealment, possession, sale, purchase, transportation or distribution of legal drugs without a proper prescription when the drug is available only by prescription; the misuse of legal or properly prescribed drugs; and the misuse of inhalants. DP/WWK also prohibits all Workers from being under the influence of illegally used drugs while on DP/WWK's premises or while conducting DP/WWK's business.
The possession, distribution, unauthorized use, sale, concealment, purchase, transportation or consumption of alcoholic beverages while on DP/WWK's premises or while conducting DP/WWK business is prohibited. No volunteer shall consume alcohol during breaks or meal periods. DP/WWK further prohibits all Workers from being under the influence of alcohol while on DP/WWK's premises and/or while conducting DP/WWK business.
Any volunteer scheduled to work in rides or at the waterpark attractions will be required to submit to a drug test may be required to submit to alcohol testing. The drug test shall include testing for adulterants. All information regarding drug and alcohol testing shall be kept confidential.

Volunteers whose screening results for drugs are inconclusive, will cease performing services for DP/WWK pending the receipt of confirmatory results from the laboratory. DP/WWK and the volunteer may make arrangements for transporting the volunteer home when the initial screen for drugs is inconclusive.

Faddish, extreme hairstyles, including (but not limited to) multi-colored or unnatural colors, sculpted hair, tails, partially shaved heads and dreadlocks are not permitted.

Make-Up: Employees should emphasize the natural look. Nails should be no greater that ¼" inch in length, and if polished, only with one solid color and no additional adornment.

In addition, conservative shades of red and pink are also acceptable. Employees should also be discreet in the use of cosmetics and perfume.
Tattoos: Tattoos are not permitted to be visible to our guests. Cosmetic make-up, rather than bandages, should be used to conceal visible tattoos.

Heavy jewelry, as well as any body piercing (with the exception of two earrings per lower earlobe) is not permitted. This also refers to tongue piercing, as well as any other type of facial piercing.
