Ride the River for your Red Cross!
Ride in the Inaugural Cypress Gardens
Paradise River Float-A-Thon
to benefit your local
American Red Cross Polk County Chapter
July 19, 2008
What
better way to cool off in the summer time and give to a good cause than
taking a float on Paradise River at Cypress
Gardens Splash Island at the Inaugural Cypress Gardens Paradise River Float-A-Thon?
Imagine yourself without a care in the world, relaxed and floating down crystal-clear waters under the blue sky and bright sun. Even though people must prepare for hurricane season,
here is a way to take a break from your cares while helping one of the organizations that is always helping people prepare for severe weather — the
American Red Cross.
You can help your local American Red Cross Polk County Chapter
by joining in the inaugural Cypress Gardens Paradise River Float-A-Thon. Help
raise funds
for disaster preparation and relief and to support health and safety programs,
while you drift with the current in Polk County's one and only water park
at Florida's first amusement park.
So don't wait any longer. Preregister with the Red Cross by
calling (863) 294-5941 or via e-mail at polkcofl@polkredcross.org.
Pledge forms are available at Cypress Gardens,
your municipal
pool, your American Red Cross Polk County Chapter

Avenue A, NW, in Winter Haven) or by clicking here:
