Donation Station for Education 2024
Expanding Educational Outreach Efforts at SDMRM
Thomas and his friends are asking for your help! The San Diego Model Railroad Museum in raising $5,000 to support Educational Program Outreach efforts. Help Thomas reach Donation Station for Education by September 30 to support students during the 2024-2025 school year.
School bus transportation for field trips is expensive. Due to lack of access to necessary funding, this barrier often prevents students from experiencing arts and cultural enrichment opportunities that bolsters their learning.
SDMRM serves between 1,100-1,500 underserved students annually across San Diego County via Educational Outreach offerings – this means we deliver programs at school sites to accommodate these populations.
The amount of $5,000 will support the base cost of program materials for outreach students, as well as the cost of mileage for museum educators to travel to and from schools during the school year.
Your gift will impact underserved students across our County by allowing them to access educational opportunities offered by SDMRM that strengthens their academic growth.
