What’s Up at LA’s BEST
Field Trips Campaign for LA's BEST Kids
Our students need your help to save their field trips! Due to recent budget cuts LA’s BEST lost 40% of our transportation funding. We rely on these funds to send children to off-site educational and recreational programs at museums and other cultural institutions and sporting and performing arts events. Please help us to win $50,000 from the Pepsi Refresh Campaign, and get a jumpstart on reaching our $100,000 fundraising goal.
Vote here every day during the month of September.
