KeyLime Cove, United Way launch 'Communityh Days' promotion

KeyLime Cove and United Way of Lake County announce the launch of "Community Days," a special limited-time promotion allowing the general public to enjoy some time in the fun-shine at the Lost Paradise Indoor Waterpark while raising money for community organizations.

Five thousand one-day tickets to KeyLime Cove's Lost Paradise Indoor Waterpark, for $30 each, are available now. All proceeds will benefit United Way of Lake County, and the Gurnee police and fire departments. Day passes with no required hotel stay are not available at KeyLime Cove except through this Community Days promotion.

KeyLime Cove recently earned a spot in the top 10 indoor water parks in the country, as voted by USA TODAY's "10 Best Readers' Choice" awards. The indoor water park resort has also been recognized by Aquatics International with the "Best of Aquatics" award for its state-of-the-art ozone purification technology that produces some of the purest water anyone could swim in, anywhere on Earth.

The spring Community Days passes can be used seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Usage dates run Sunday, April 24, through Friday, June 10, except for Memorial Day weekend, May 27-30. The resort is at the northeast corner of I-94 and Grand Avenue (Route 132) in Gurnee, near Gurnee Mills and Six Flags Great America.

"Community Days has become a tradition for our resort. We look forward to our eighth consecutive year providing this opportunity for our community, the nonprofit beneficiaries, local residents, and KeyLime Cove to work together. We value our partnership with United Way and look forward to another outstanding fundraiser this spring," said Dale McFarland, Veracity Hospitality president and CEO.

The Community Days promotion has been held every year since 2009 and more than $432,695 in proceeds has been distributed to United Way of Lake County and other nonprofit partners.

"With our long tradition of partnering with the business community to advance the common good, we are honored to be working together again with KeyLime Cove to help raise funds to improve lives in Lake County," said Kristi Long, president and CEO of United Way of Lake County.

"The tickets are a fantastic value for families, friends, co-workers, employees and groups to take advantage of KeyLime Cove without a required hotel stay," she added.

Community Days tickets may be ordered online at www.LIVEUNITEDlakecounty.org/keylimecove, at United Way of Lake County's office and KeyLime Cove's front desk during business hours.

Adults must accompany children ages 16 and younger and have a ticket, even if they are just chaperones. Children younger than 2 do not require tickets. Food and beverages may not be brought in from the outside, but can be purchased at the resort. Ticket redemption is subject to daily occupancy restrictions, and KeyLime Cove reserves the right to deny entry based on capacity.
