LoraX Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 As many of you know, I love the organization A Kid Again. A Kid Again is an amazing organization and Kings Island will be hosting the annual event on July 10. Some of the people you meet can and will change your life. July 10, 2012 was the day I met Amber and her daughter KK. These two gals changed my life. It's astounding seeing families with children facing illness that are often life threatening without complaint and with smiles on their faces. It's probably one of the most fun days you can have at the park. I don't know that I can get off work all day, but will be going at least part of the day. Amber and KK will be there and my daughter will get to meet them this time. (Plus it's Princess Sparkles actual birthday! July 10 has been a very special day for nearly 17 years!) Thank you Kings Island for your generosity for this organization. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 It certainly is a very special day with a great group of people. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davef45122 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hey all, Just wanted to give a thanks to all the team members and those who support A Kid Again also the ones that do the fund raiser Coasting for Kids. We are a Kid Again family and also a Give Kids The World Village alum. We have been part of A Kid Again for 11 years now and loved every event they have done. We also stayed at Give Kids The World Village on my son's Make A Wish trip in 2003 and my daughter's Make A Wish trip in 2010. I will say with out support from everyone these magical days couldn't happen. Every little bit helps. I know for the team members it is a busy day for them, I know it slows dispatches for the rides because of slow transfers and all but I know these kids love every second of being at the park. For those that enjoy the Coasting for Kids event I know it is a blast I did it in 2011. I have not been able to do the event due to work these past years but next year going to try. But when these kids get their wish granted from Make A Wish or any other wish granting organization I will say they are having as much fun if not more. Like I said we benefited twice. I know first hand what this village is all about and anytime I can help in anyway I will. Once again huge thanks to you all. If anyone wants to see our pictures from Give Kids The World Village let me know. Also if you want to chat about it look me up here. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Welcome to KIC!!! I am always happy to be apart of Coasting For Kids! I have not been to the park on A Kid Again days but I know how much joy it brings to you and other families. I hope that this year is just as amazing as it has been in the past! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoraX Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 We are hoping to be there by 2:30 tomorrow if anyone is interested in meeting up. This is subject to change if someone calls in. In that case, it will be later in the day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoraX Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Was able to hang out with my friends that I met through A Kid Again two years ago. Both mom (Amber) and dad (Steven) got to ride on Banshee. It was truly wonderful seeing them and the other families that A Kid Again helps. KK has grown so much.

Creed Bratton Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I had a family at work who was at the park on the 10th for A Kid Again. They absolutely loved it. They were so excited when talking about it. I asked what their favorite thing to do was, all 4 kids said The Bumper Cars! Then the mother told me how much a blessing Kings Island and A Kid Again were on the 10th for them. The mom had tears in her eyes when talking about it. I said I was so happy for them that they got to go enjoy such a great day at a great park. I mentioned that I was a former ride op at the park and still spoke with several people who work in the park now. She told me to tell them thanks for providing such a great day! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
