Does Dorney Park Donate Complimentary Tickets?

Yes, ticket donations are made to qualifying organizations and individuals within the region. Donations are made based on the need of the individual or group. The Park concentrates on providing a day of enjoyment directly to individuals with disabilities or disadvantaged people who are otherwise unable to visit the Park without our help. Fund-raising provides valuable support to schools, churches, organizations and communities; however, due to the demand, donations for fund-raising efforts are generally only made to causes that directly assist: physically or emotionally disabled individuals; persons suffering from a catastrophic illness or who require a life-saving medical procedure; and medical research. We usually do not make more than one donation to an individual, organization or cause in a given year. Usually donations are two to four complimentary tickets per qualifying request in most cases. Season Passes are not donated.
