I saw a commercial last night about Disney offering free tickets to those that voluteer with a certain organization. I would love to see a list of the organization that qualify for the Disney program. Does anyone have more info on this?
I found the article below via google but it doesn't list specific agencies.

BURBANK, CA (WPIX) - Here's your chance to visit Disney for free. The company wants to inspire people to give to charity, so Disney is offering a free day pass in exchange for one day of volunteer work in your community.
The promotion is called "Give A Day, Get A Disney Day." Anyone who volunteers through HandsOn Network, will receive a free day of admission in 2010.
One million free passes will be offered to people 18 years and older. Children aged 6-17 can get a free ticket, too, as long as an adult is with them while they are volunteering.
If you already have an annual pass, Disney encourages you to donate your free pass to charity.
The company hopes visitors will continue volunteering in their communities long after the promotion ends. "The thrust of this program is really about inspiring people to consider and participate in volunteerism, with the hope that that will become a way of life for them," said Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
The promotion starts January 1, 2010 and runs until December 15, 2010, or until one million tickets have been given away -- whichever comes first.
After guests complete their community service, they will receive a voucher good for a one-day ticket to any them park at either Walt Disney World or Disneyland. Volunteers must register through the parks website before volunteering on their day of service.
