Help Tristan get to the East Coast!
Donation protected
My name is Tristan! I am in the 8th grade. This year, I'm eligible to go on an educational trip to the East Coast with my school during Spring Break in April 2023.
The cost: This trip costs about $3,200, which is much more than most people can afford right now, and that is why I’m asking for your help. All of the funds raised will go towards flights, hotels, food, local transportation, etc.
Where we are going and what we are doing:
- Washington DC: Visit the White House, Mt. Vernon, U.S. Capitol, Supreme Court, several memorials, Arlington National Cemetery, and the Pentagon
- Virginia: Jefferson's Monticello
- Pennsylvania: Visit the Gettysburg Battlefield, see a historical film, and museum
- New York: Visit Central Park, St. Patrick's Cathedral, take a boat cruise around the Statue of Liberty, catch a Broadway Show, take a walking tour of Central Park, visit the 9/11 memorial and museum, and go to the top of the Empire State Building.
Why I should go:
I'm a 3.8 GPA student in honors classes and I'm also in my school’s concert and jazz bands. After about eight years of training, I'm now a black belt in tae kwon do. I also play volleyball and last year I made the advanced team! Last month, I joined a teen volunteer program and we assist my community.
In History class, we have been learning about the United States’ past, but going on this trip will bring me a whole new perspective on the history of our country as I will get to actually see and experience the things I have only been able to read and dream about. I'd also enjoy the experience of traveling with my classmates!
So far, I've earned and saved a little bit. You can help me reach my goal! Everything is appreciated! I'm so excited to go on this trip!
