Six Flags Great America Partnering with
Illinois to Incentivize COVID-19 Vaccination in Underserved
Communities
Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, the world’s largest
regional theme park company and largest operator of waterparks in
North America, is proud to announce that Six Flags Great America,
the Thrill Capital of the Midwest, is providing 50,000 one-day
tickets—over $4 million in value—to the State of Illinois in
support of COVID-19 vaccination education programs in areas heavily
impacted by the pandemic.
“Six Flags is honored to partner with state leaders to encourage
Illinois residents to get vaccinated, especially in underserved
communities,” said Six Flags President and CEO Mike Spanos. “We
appreciate Governor Pritzker’s leadership on this initiative and we
look forward to moving to Phase 5 very soon,” continued Spanos.
Tickets will be distributed to newly vaccinated Illinois
residents through local health department initiatives and community
organization vaccine education campaigns.
In addition to the ticket offer, Six Flags Great America will be
hosting mobile vaccination teams at the theme park the first
weekend of June to further support the state’s vaccination
efforts.
Six Flags is dedicated to making a positive difference in
communities throughout the country. As part of that commitment, the
company has pledged up to $5 million in investments and ticket
value by the end of 2022 toward programs dedicated to equality and
the socioeconomic advancement of people of color.
