Teams representing nine charities participated in Saturday's "Cyclone Roller Coaster 1st Annual Charity Coasterthon" at Luna Park at Coney Island. The winning team would be the one that rode the most laps during the allotted ten hours.
But instead of one team winning, eight teams, including Sean Casey Animal Rescue, rode the same number of laps--134. The eight will split the $24,000 prize.
The winning charities are Alzheimer's Association, American Cancer Society Relay For Life, Give Kids The World Village, New York Cares, New York Aquarium, Sean Casey Animal Rescue, You Gotta Believe, and Youth Service Opportunities Project. The only charity not completing 134 laps was Team Special Olympics.
