ORANGE, Calif., Aug. 16, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canyon Acres Children and Family Services, a Southern California charity organization committed to providing homes, care, treatment and supportive services for abused, neglected and emotionally troubled children and their families, today announced that Palace Entertainment has donated more than $10,000 in amusement park tickets to the agency's children. Granting them access to some of the region's most compelling attractions, these activities give children a burst of excitement and a sense of normalcy at a time when such sentiments can be scarce.
Before they arrive at Canyon Acres, most of the agency's children have never been to a theme park. The Palace Entertainment contribution includes tickets for Castle Park, Speed Zone, Boomers!, Raging Waters and more. Not only are the excursions a blast for the agency's children, the outings also give families a chance to bond. Palace Entertainment has sponsored summer activities for Canyon Acres children since 2003.
"Canyon Acres is deeply grateful to Palace Entertainment for its ongoing support of children in need," said Clete Menke, President of Canyon Acres. "Summertime activities hold a very special place in the hearts of children – excitement, camaraderie and memories that last a lifetime. This is a perfect supplement to our cutting-edge programs that aim to provide hope, care and love to the children who need it most."
