This first 2019 Coasting for Kids day will be hosted by Busch Gardens Williamsburg on March 23rd. Jeff Stamp expressed his excitement for this day. “I’m even more excited to visit my favorite theme park this summer now that I know my ticket will go to help a child. There’s something so rewarding about planning a fun day while also sharing Give Kids The World with my friends and family.”<\/p>\n
