Wild Adventures Theme Park will once again host The Great Ping Pong Race, a high-energy charity event to benefit The Miracle League of Valdosta, on Thursday, June 18 at 10:45 a.m., at Splash Island Waterpark.

The unique fundraiser sends numbered ping pong balls racing down the Bonzai Pipelines slide in Splash Island Waterpark. Each ball represents a donation made to support The Miracle League, which provides opportunities for children and adults with special needs to enjoy organized sports.

“We are excited to partner with Wild Adventures for our seventh annual race,” said Tim McCoppin, president of The Miracle League of Valdosta. “The support we receive through this event helps us continue to offer our athletes a fun, accessible and unforgettable experience.”

The ball drop begins at 10:45 a.m., and spectators are welcome to watch from the designated viewing area near the slide. Over $3,000 in prizes are up for grabs, all donated by local businesses and sponsors. Winners do not need to be present to claim prizes.

Ping pong balls can be reserved in advance with a donation at PingPongRace.com, or purchased at the park on race day until 10 a.m. Every ball purchased provides another chance to win—and supports an athlete’s chance to shine.

“We’re honored to continue supporting the incredible work of The Miracle League through this one-of-a-kind event,” said Donald Spiller, vice president & general manager at Wild Adventures. “The race is a fun and meaningful way for the community and our guests to come together and give back.”
