MYRTLE BEACH, SC – Myrtle Waves Water Park will be hosting the third annual back to school supply drive on Saturday, August 6, 2016 from 10:00am to 3:30pm. All guests who donate new school supplies, minimum $5 retail donation per person, will receive same day park admission of $13.99 each plus tax for all heights and ages 3 and up plus the very next day free, a $14 savings! In addition, all donors will be entered into a drawing for a family 4 pack of tickets to Cirque Extreme at the Palace Theatre.
“As the 2016-2017 school year is upon us, it’s our hope to help the children of Myrtle Beach get off to a great start”, says Josh Henderson, General Manager of Myrtle Waves. “Our guests have really come through in the last two years and we hope to collect the same if not more school supplies this year.” 100% of the supplies will be donated to Myrtle Beach Schools. Last year’s school supply drive event provided free supplies to all 5 Myrtle Beach Schools from Primary to High School in addition to the Grand Strand Boys & Girls Club.
Ideas for new school supplies can be found on area school websites. South Carolina Tax Free Weekend is also being held this year August 5 through August 7 statewide where school supplies can be purchased tax free at area retail locations which can help donation dollars go farther. Additional park information is available at www.myrtlewaves.com.
