Supporters love CWA's bi-weekly online auction because they can find great deals on guns, gear and art and support California Waterfowl with their winning bids.
But some of our auction items are just gifts from the heart, and we're excited to report that Education Coordinator Molly Maupin has raised $4,000 in such gifts for field trip transportation scholarships.
What's a transportation scholarship? It pays for the bus to get kids from their school to whatever wetland Ms. Molly is touring with them. These scholarships are vital because most of the schools CWA's education team serves have NO transportation funding.
"CWA's field trip is the only field trip we are able to do every year because of the transportation scholarships," one teacher told Ms. Molly. "It is impossible to do field trips without outside funding, and having this opportunity for free is huge for them. Most of these students have barely gone to the park by their houses, so getting them out here, letting them get their shoes dirty and experience wildlife in its natural habitat is huge."
CWA is forever grateful for the support of generous members who make this happen! If you're interested in checking out our upcoming online auction, please click
