Introducing Worlds of Love Community Giving

Worlds of Fun is proud to announce its new charitable giving program, Worlds of Love. Through this new initiative, park ambassadors and guests will unite to spread happiness, fun and love to deserving children in the Kansas City area. Children’s Mercy Hospital will serve as the Worlds of Love’s first primary sponsor.
Worlds of Love Mission Statement:
Worlds of Love is dedicated to bringing happiness and opportunity to the youth of Kansas City. Together, we strive to make an impact in the Kansas City community by spreading the love that has a lasting impact on the families we serve and the memories we help create.
Worlds of Fun has a long history of giving back to the Heartland, and they are hoping Worlds of Love will help extend their reach locally and make more of a strategic impact. These focused efforts will include ticket donations, fundraising, special events, ambassador participation and character appearances. As a result, the park will no longer accept ticket donation requests through the Kids First charity ticket program.
Worlds of Fun & Children’s Mercy Team Up
Children's Mercy is a leading independent children's health organization dedicated to holistic care, translational research, breakthrough innovation and educating the next generation of caregivers. They provide service to children and families throughout the Heartland with world-class healthcare and services right here in Kansas City. Worlds of Love and Children’s Mercy will work together to help kids get back to fun.
Additional community partners Worlds of Love will work with include Autism Society of the Heartland, Reach Out & Read Kansas City, Girls on the Run, The Victory Project, Variety KC and Boys and Girls Club of Greater Kanas City.
2021 Autism Society of the Heartland 5K/1K Fun Run
Worlds of Fun will be hosting the 4th Annual Autism Society of the Heartland 5K/1K Fun Run on May 1. Virtual and in-person options are available. The first 300 registered participants will receive a FREE Worlds of Fun ticket to use during the 2021 season before September 6.

The official course layout takes runners in and around Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun, including behind-the-scenes access rarely granted to guests. Best of all, the event benefits a great local organization. Register here.
