In my seventh and final year on the board of the Hitchcock Center for Environmental Education, I am making a big push this Giving Tuesday to leave the place a wee bit richer to ensure its continuing impact. Through cool hands-on projects, kids in our after-school programs, home-school days, and summer camps learn core principles of sustainability. We recently started tiered pricing to reach more kids whose families cannot cover the costs of programs.

Design is a special focus; I was astonished that the tiny humans in one class could cobble together popsicle sticks and Q-tips to make models of buildings that would maximize rain capture and thermal retention. The Hitchcock Center building itself is a 3-D teaching tool; it became the 29th fully LEED-certified building in the world in 2020. 

A little Fynn and a little Sarah once attended summer camp here. The board itself has enriched my life with friendship and purpose.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you for standing by me in this effort.  To support sustainability education is to make an optimistic investment in our shared future. Your support means the world to me!
