Legoland Florida is giving away $1.8 million worth of free tickets to kids affected by Hurricane Irma.
That represents 20,000 free tickets which will be passed on to the UNICEF Kid Power Schools program and Citrus Center Boys & Girls Clubs to distribute.
It is the largest ticket giveaway in the resort’s history.
"As a resort built for kids, we felt compelled to do something special for Florida’s children after Hurricane Irma, which left so many households facing months of recovery," said Rex Jackson, general manager of Legoland Florida Resort.
"While we can’t turn the power back on for those families, we can put smiles on their faces."
"From UNICEF’s 70 years of work in emergencies and in schools around the world, we know the importance of ‘play’ and free time in helping kids heal from stressful situations, such as a natural disaster," said Jeanette Duffy, UNICEF Kid Power Program Director.
The Kid Power Program will receive 18,000 of the tickets while the Citrus Center Boys & Girls Clubs get the remaining 2,000 to give to children they assist in Polk County.
