Welcome to my Give-Back Birthday page!
In lieu of gifts this year, my birthday wish is to help high-need kids in public schools take field trips. Can you imagine never having the chance to go to the aquarium or natural history museum?
Since I am turning 33 this year, please help me by picking a field trip from the list below to support with a $33 donation (or any other amount). Thanks in advance for helping kids in real need--may it come back to you 10-fold!
NOTE: Ending this Sunday at midnight, I will match every dollar donated up to a total of $100,000!P.S. If we run out of field trips, we'll focus on reading projects. Literacy = the most fundamental path out of poverty.
Every donor thanked. Donation is tax-deductible.
