Give to Goodwill and Enter Disney Pass Drawing

Want to win free passes to Disney World?

People who bring Goodwill donations to one of four local AAA offices from April 1-5 will automatically be entered into a drawing to win free passes to Disney theme parks.

AAA South is partnering with Goodwill Manasota by holding a four-location donation drive at area AAA offices, with the added incentive of the chance to win Disney passes.

The Manatee locations are:

• 6210 Manatee Avenue West in Bradenton (941-798-2221; AAA.com/Bradenton);
• 11531 Palmbrush Trail in Lakewood Ranch (941-756-0606; AAA.comLakewoodRanch).

The Sarasota locations are:

• 3844 Bee Ridge Road in Sarasota (941-929-2299; AAA.com/Sarasota);
• 2100 South Tamiami Trail in Sarasota (941-493-2100; AAA.com/Venice).

From April 1-5, the public can leave donations for Goodwill at a AAA office and be entered into a drawing for four passes to the winner's choice of Disney theme parks.

Donations of clothing, shoes and soft goods are accepted; there's a particular need for men's clothing right now.

"We're very happy to partner with AAA," says Rick Hughes, director of community outreach for Goodwill Manasota. "This initiative will not only bring in much-needed donations, it will also help to spread the word on the jobs, services and programs that Goodwill Manasota provides the community through the sale of donated goods."

Larger items, including furniture and cars, can also be donated, with pickup by Goodwill, by calling 941-355-2721. Donors also will receive a tax receipt for their donations.
