Stop the presses! Hold the phone! We interrupt this regularly scheduled summer season with an exciting announcement!

We are pleased to announce that the Brooklyn Community Foundation has offered us an amazing new opportunity. As you may know, Coney Island USA has a new $300 membership level, the Sideshow Professa, and BCF has agreed to help us make new friends by matching any new $300 membership with an equal donation to our programs.

For example, if you or your friends joined us for the first time at the new $300 Sideshow Professa membership level, they would match your contribution with a gift to Coney Island USA for $300!

Become a New Member Today

We realize that many of you are already longtime members. In that case, all you have to do is upgrade your membership now in order to help us take advantage of this amazing one-time opportunity.

If you’re already a member we’ll let you upgrade to a Sideshow Professa membership from any level for $150, we’ll even begin your new upgraded membership on September 1st, which means that you’ll be on the Judge’s Stand for next year’s 30th Anniversary Mermaid Parade and Brooklyn Community Foundation will match your $150 contribution immediately.

UPGRADE ONLINE

The Brooklyn Community Foundation is good to us. But they’re only as good as you are. Please help us make this match by upgrading or joining now at the $300 level. This is exactly the kind of challenge we like to face, but we can’t do it without your help. See you at the seashore!
