A Season Pass to Carowinds for Shawn to look forward to a fun summer

Posted Dec 30, 2020
Shawn wishes for a season pass to Carowinds to motivate him to make honor roll the rest of the school year. He made honor roll this last semester but he had to have a lot of extra tutoring and mentoring. A season pass to Carowinds would give him a positive goal to work toward and put his motivation into high gear thinking about a fun summer. Covid-19 has him feeling stuck and sad because there have been so many changes at school both in-person and with virtual learning. Hacing a fun summer to look forward to full of rollercoasters and laughs will help push Shawn to have a successful semester at school!

Shawn is 17 years old and lives in NC

Shawn is a wonderful young man who struggles with the lasting effects of abuse and neglect. He has many special needs and requires a high level of care and attention. He likes being part of the family and likes working on fixing things. Shawn likes to eat Chick-fil-A and listen to music. Shawn loves helping people and wants to be a teacher someday.

"Hi Shawn! Well done on earning the honor roll this past semester! Given how hard this year has been, that's an accomplishment that you should be SUPER proud of :) Keep up the hard work this semester, and then when summer rolls around, I hope you have the time of your life at Carowinds. You earned it! Please remember that these tough times will someday be in your rearview mirror, and you can look back with pride and wonder how how you pushed through it all. Wishing you all the best! Erin"
