Community
Slide City Cares is a series of programs throughout the Slide City Waterpark family of parks that make a difference in communities by encouraging local involvement, supporting the mission of various non-profit organizations and bringing the thrill of Slide City Waterpark to children and families across North America.
Slide City Cares is a proud supporter of many organizations throughout the communities we serve. Through our local partnerships, we successfully utilize our geographic span to make a difference. We are able to contribute to several local organizations each year that make an impact in our surrounding neighborhoods. With a focus on education, disabilities, the underprivileged, civil service and medical causes, Slide City Waterpark is proud to support charitable programs that make our local communities in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut a better place to live, work, and play.
Empowering Youth
Slide City Waterpark has offered youth programs to support service, community engagement, leadership development, character building and inclusiveness. Events such as the NYC Summer Youth Employment Program impart valuable job skills and life lessons in a thrilling and welcoming environment. Through the park’s Academic Adventure programs, Slide City Waterpark transforms into an outdoor classroom to make learning fun at Physics Day, Biology Day and Business & Marketing Day
Fighting Against Ovarian Cancer
This year, Bounce Playground, our Parent Company, will host a charity color walk or run for Talk About Your Scars (TAYS) Foundation. Together, we hope to raise more than $100,000 annually for the fight against Ovarian cancer.
Supporting Grassroots Community Initiatives
Slide City Waterpark proudly supports schools, Veterans organizations, animal rescues, disability, mental and emotional health associations, local fire, police and EMS, diversity and inclusion programs, the arts, and countless additional non-profit organizations through its Summer ticket donation program. With the help of Donation Match, Slide City Waterpark is able to communicate directly with deserving, local charities and give back to the communities that have helped to support the park.
Filling Hearts and Bellies at the Holidays
During the holiday season, Slide City Waterpark celebrates the season of giving through several charitable programs. The park has its annual food drive and toy drive, benefitting local food banks and shelters. Guests and team members are encouraged to make a donation of food and gifts in exchange for a fun giveaway.
Ticket Donations
The mission of Slide City Waterpark Friends is to deliver smiles and thrills to children and families across North America, from the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Slide City Waterpark is pleased to assist qualified New York non-profit organizations with their fundraising efforts with a once a year donation. Slide City Waterpark prides itself on being involved in the community by helping local public non-profit organizations through in-kind donations of tickets.
Please make your request by completing our donation application. One of our park representatives will be in contact.
Our Donation Committee meets once per month to review requests for the following month.
Requests are prioritized according to the company’s mission, and many requests, but not all, are able to be granted.
Unfortunately due to the high volume of requests, we are unable to check the status of a request.
If Slide City Waterpark is able to donate to your organization, you should receive your donation approximately one month prior to the event.
Please submit your request approximately three months prior to your event. Donation requests received less than one month before the event date are unable to be reviewed.
You can request multiple times in one calendar year, but Slide City Waterpark will only donate one time per year to your organization. Donations are subject to availability and the company’s donation criteria.
