January 10, 2010-Cherry Hill, New Jersey-Destination ImagiNation (DI) is pleased to announce its participation in Disney’s Give a Day Get a Disney Day program that rewards volunteerism with a free day at any Disney park. DI joins hundreds of organizations, corporations and non-profit organizations encouraging everyone to make a difference in their communities.
 
“DI would not exist without the dedication and energy of our more than 35,000 volunteers, so it was an easy decision to register with Disney and participate in this great program,” said Chuck Cadle, CEO of Destination ImagiNation, Inc. “Being able to recognize all of our volunteers with such a generous gift sends a positive message about giving back.”

Beginning January 1, 2010, interested parties can visit www.DisneyParks.com to register as a volunteer with DI. DI has many volunteer roles across all states that include helping during Tournament season and managing a DI team. Students can also participate by selecting DI’s Service Learning Challenge that focuses on affecting change in a community through music. DI will continuously update all volunteer opportunities at www.DisneyParks.com.

Volunteer opportunities for DI will continue throughout 2010. Volunteers are needed during the busy Tournament months between January and April, and adult Team Managers are needed for DI teams at the start of the 2010-11 season starting September 2010.

“The Give a Day Get a Disney Day program is the perfect way to become involved in Destination ImagiNation, and it will be a great recruitment campaign for attracting new volunteers,” said Dick Pinney, Executive Director, California Creativity Association. “We have seen DI grow through the dedication of our volunteers and hope participation in Disney’s program will help increase interest in our extraordinary after-school activity.”
