Bring Disney Magic to Middle School Students

3 of 20 students funded so far!

Hello, dear friends, family, and generous supporters,

We are a group of 8th graders from Charm City Virtual, a virtual learning program in Baltimore City, and we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make our dreams come true with a class trip to Walt Disney World! As we prepare for this magical adventure, we need your support to ensure that every student, regardless of their financial situation, can experience the magic of Disney. We will also get to experience Universal Studios, Kennedy Space Center, and WonderWorks across the five-day trip!

For many of us, this trip will be the first time that we have had a travel experience like this. This trip is not only an educational experience that is beyond comparison, but it is also an opportunity for us to strengthen friendships, and have an experience that we will truly remember for the rest of our lives. It will allow us to see beyond our current neighborhood and city.

The trip is scheduled for June 2024, and the expenses for each of us to participate is overwhelming. We come from a low-income area and many families simply cannot afford the full cost. That's why we've set up this GoFundMe campaign, to ensure that as many 8th graders at Charm City Virtual as possible can join this incredible adventure and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Your generous contribution will help cover transportation costs, hotel accommodation, park tickets, meals, and much more, ensuring that none of us are left behind. Your support will not only make this dream trip possible, but will also empower us to experience a world of learning outside the classroom.

Here are some examples of how your contribution will make a significant impact:

- $25: Helps cover the cost of meals for a day so that we are well-fed and can discover foods that we have never tried before

- $50: Contributes towards shuttle transportation expenses, including gratuities, so that we can safely travel to and from our different travel destinations

- $100: Helps cover the cost of park tickets so that we can experience the World Showcase at EPCOT, Harry Potter World at Universal Studios Hollywood, and the virtual roller coaster at WonderWorks

- $250: Supports hotel expenses so that we can room with our friends

- $500: Covers round-trip airfare so that we are safely transported to and from Florida

- $3,664 - Covers the entire, all-inclusive five-day experience for one of us! This includes airfare, a full-time tour director, hotel accommodations, meals, overnight security, on-tour transportation, guided tours, activity and entry fees, 24-hour emergency assistance, and all gratuities

- $4,044 - Covers the entire five-day experience for one of our family members so that they can enjoy this experience alongside us

- Any amount: Every donation counts, and your generosity brings us one step closer to our goal!

As a token of our appreciation, we will send personalized thank-you notes and keep you updated on our magical journey. We will also create a scrapbook of our adventure to share with you, filled with photos and stories of our unforgettable trip.

Please help us make this a reality for our entire class by donating to our GoFundMe and sharing out the fundraiser to people within your network. You have an opportunity to make a significant impact on our education, friendships, and memories. Your support will ensure that no one is left behind and that we can create lasting memories together.

Thank you for considering our cause and supporting our dreams. We are so grateful for your kindness and generosity. Let's make our middle school class trip to Disney World an unforgettable adventure!

With heartfelt appreciation,

Mr. (Tim) Jackson and the 8th Grade Class at Charm City Virtual
