The Adventure Ted Challenge
Here’s a nationwide read along challenge that will warm hearts and inspire a nation in need!
The #AdventureTedChallenge is a Rotary Club of New York-funded campaign, in partnership with the Childhood Cancer Society, to encourage literacy and positivity while surprising families battling childhood cancer with an all-expenses-paid VIP Disney/Universal Theme Park Vacation at Give Kids The World Village (
www.gktw.org)!
Anyone who accepts this challenge and raises $100 is eligible to receive the first-of-its-kind Adventure Ted Plush toy.
Here’s what you need to know to participate:
- Follow the @AdventureTed.Official & @ChildhoodCancerSociety Facebook Pages
- Follow the @AdventureTed.Official Instagram Page.
- Take a screenshot of your donation total and send it to @AdventureTed.official Instagram Page. Be sure to include your mailing address so that you can receive your Adventure Ted Plush toy once it arrives this summer!
If you raise $5,000, your donation will completely sponsor a Disney trip for a family of five (5) battling childhood cancer! If you raise less than $5,000, you may pair your donations with your participating friends to reach that total.
Once the challenge is complete, Adventure Ted, the Rotary Club of New York and the Childhood Cancer Society will announce the Wish Grant Recipients on their social media pages!
