Our Mission

The Eau Claire Area School District (ECASD) has cut all funding for field trips in the upcoming budget. This means that children in the district will not be going on the curriculum-based field trips for which the school district has previously paid. Our group is launching a fundraiser beginning August 15, 2009. The goal is to raise approximately $70,000 that will be given to the ECASD for funding those field trips that would otherwise be eliminated this year. By achieving our goal, we will support local businesses, stimulate young minds and reinvest in the future of our community.

Update!

We are proud to announce that because of our efforts the School Board has put some of the field trips back into the budget for the 2010-2011 academic year. We are short on a lot of the other trips. Charter Bank has agreed to do another match this year for funds raised. THANK YOU CHARTER BANK!!!

If you would like to make a donation for fund any of these trips, mail your check to: Eau Claire Area School District, 500 Main St., Eau Claire, WI 54701. The money will go into the same account as last year so it would be tax deductible.

b. Grade 1 Public Library $1,700
c. Grade 2 Beaver Creek Insect Study $4,600
