The holiday season is a time for giving, joy, and making meaningful connections. As we gather with loved ones and reflect on what truly matters, there’s a unique opportunity to give a gift that will make a lasting impact: the gift of education and exploration.
For many children, field trips are transformative experiences. They offer opportunities to explore museums, historical landmarks, nature preserves, and cultural centers—places that spark curiosity, inspire creativity, and bring lessons to life outside the classroom. Unfortunately, budget cuts and financial constraints mean that countless students never get the chance to experience these enriching adventures.
This holiday season, Get Out and About invites you to join us in creating these opportunities for children who need them most. By donating to our Field Trip Fund, you can help ensure that every child—no matter their background—gets the chance to learn, grow, and dream big.
Why Field Trips Matter
Field trips aren’t just fun; they’re fundamental to learning. Studies show that experiential learning boosts student engagement, fosters empathy, and improves academic performance. For many kids, it’s their first chance to see the world beyond their neighborhoods, opening their eyes to new possibilities and career paths.
Yet for underserved schools, these trips often fall by the wayside due to limited funding. That’s where we come in—and where your generosity can make a real difference.
Your Gift in Action
When you donate to Get Out and About, your support directly funds:
• Transportation costs to bring students to destinations they’ve only dreamed of visiting.
• Admission fees to museums, science centers, and cultural landmarks.
• Supplies and materials for hands-on activities that enhance the experience.
Every dollar you give helps create a moment of wonder for a child who may never have had that chance otherwise.
A Season for Giving
This holiday season, as you shop for gifts and plan celebrations, consider giving the gift of opportunity. A donation of $25 could cover the cost of admission for one student. A gift of $200 could fund transportation for an entire class. No matter the size, your contribution has the power to change lives.
