Dear Project Exploration Supporter,

My son David turned 18 this year. I’m so proud of him. He’s so eager to grow up and I am very fortunate that I can help provide him with a good education and guide him towards a successful future. He will be off to college next year to experience a world of new opportunities.  If only all students had this same access to opportunity.

Project Exploration is making this world a better place by providing those opportunities. Project Exploration is a nonprofit science education organization that works to ensure underserved communities—particularly minority youth and girls—have access to state-of-the-art science education.

Project Exploration offers programs at no cost to the students. This is possible through the philanthropic support of foundations, corporations, and generous individuals like you and me.  Research shows that students are more likely to fall behind in these crucial summer months, making programs this summer more important than ever. With corporate and foundation dollars shrinking, Project Exploration needs your help to provide its summer intensive field programs that link students with scientists:

  • $50 guarantees a half-day, hands-on classroom experience for a student.

  • $75 provides a half-day of interactive fieldwork in Montana or South Dakota.

Please consider making a gift of $50 this summer. Project Exploration’s programming changes the lives of hundreds of students each year, fostering a long-term relationship with science and serving as a catalyst for developing leadership and building self-confidence.

My support of Project Exploration is fueled by compassion, and out of the ideals that we are all equal, that we should help provide opportunity for all. We all want our children to live in a better world. We know that can only happen if we strive toward the ideal of equal opportunities for girls, minorities and kids who will thrive with our support.

Together with the assistance of people like you, Project Exploration is changing kids’ lives, and changing the face of science. Please join me in supporting Project Exploration.

Sincerely,

thshaneen-sig
