Spring and summer breaks are fast approaching and Disney, with Volunteer Canada, is offering you the opportunity to volunteer with the Canadian Diabetes Association Clothesline program (as well as other registered charities) for a day and in return receive a free day pass to a Walt Disney World or Disneyland theme park.
It is easy to get involved with the Canadian Diabetes Association Clothesline program: visit disneyparks.ca and register online.
"The Canadian Diabetes Association Clothesline program is the first Canadian charity to join Disney and the 'Give a Day. Get a Disney Day' volunteer program nationally," said Wendy Mitchell, Manager of Corporate Citizenship&Fund Development with Volunteer Canada.
Once registered, search for the Canadian Diabetes Association Clothesline program and sign up to collect five bags of reusable clothing and drop them off at your local Clothesline office.
Everyone in the family can get involved (each earning a free Disney Park pass), children as young as 6 years old may volunteer as long as they are supervised by an adult.
'Give a Day. Get a Disney Day' run until Dec 15, 2010 and passes must be used within this timeframe.
Volunteer with Clothesline and make a difference in the fight against diabetes. 100 per cent of the proceeds from donations are used to help the Canadian Diabetes Association support the 9 million Canadians living with or at risk of diabetes.
Each year, Clothesline donations divert more than 41 million kilos of clothing and household items from our landfills. This translates into a savings of 766 million kWh of energy and reduces our donors' carbon footprint by 105 million kilos of CO2 emissions. This energy savings is enough to power more than 42,000 households for an entire year.
Across the country, the Canadian Diabetes Association is leading the fight against diabetes by helping people with diabetes live healthy lives while it works to find a cure.
