Approved requests receive four single-day admissions to SeaWorld Orlando.
Only one request per calendar year per organization can be granted.
Requests must be received at least 60 days and no more than six months before the event date.
Donated admissions may only be used for fundraising events.
SeaWorld Orlando does not donate to organizations outside Florida, third-party requests, for-profit organizations, labor or political organizations, individuals, employee/volunteer/student recognition events or door prizes, or organizations whose activities do not align with SeaWorld's policies.
Tips from the program page: Put the 60-day minimum and six-month maximum on your calendar; a request outside that window does not meet the stated rule. · Make the benefit to children, animals or conservation explicit in your letter, since those are the only causes the page lists. · Plan to use the admissions as an auction or raffle item at the fundraiser itself, not as a volunteer thank-you.

When to ask
SeaWorld Orlando states a lead time of 60 days. Count back that far from your event date and send the request no later than then.
Across more than 25,000 fundraising events in our own records over fifteen years, March, April and May are the busiest months for fundraisers, October is the next busiest, and July and December are the quietest.
Work backwards from your event rather than forwards from today, and if your event falls in the spring peak, ask earlier than the stated lead time rather than later.
