Volunteer and Advocate for America

Hello, thank you for visiting my campaign! My name is Travis Deaton and I am asking for your support. I’m from Cincinnati, Ohio, and I am planning a nation-wide trip to promote our National Parks and along the way bring awareness to incredible nonprofit organizations doing great work.



What I'm raising money for?

Volunteer and Advocate for America 2018 is a cross-country motorcycle trip to every national park, most national monuments, and many of our national historical monuments in every lower 48 states. On this trip, I will be volunteering for every national park I visit, along with nature preserves, wildlife refuge, wildlife sanctuaries, and using my American Red Cross training to assist in natural emergencies. In addition to volunteering for the national park service, I will also be volunteering for Habitat for Humanity, American Red Cross, and various organizations that aid and contribute to their local communities. I will be doing all of this on a Harley-Davidson Iron 883 Sportster, camping in a single person canvas bedroll called the Adventurer by Wynnchester Outdoors and sleeping in a 5 layer army modular sleep system. My goal is to bring awareness to the importance of these parks and monuments, as well as promote nonprofit organizations who are doing great work. Supporters will be able to follow along via my blog, YouTube channel, and Instagram.



How will the donations be used?

Gas, food, tolls, SD Cards and park fees. I am currently working as a dishwasher and night maintenance at a local restaurant to pay for my primary equipment. With the modest size of the Iron 883 Sportster, I will be taking the bare minimum for the trip. I need your help.

Think of it this way,  your donation will help 50 National Parks and 400+ National Sites with on the ground assistance that will result in substantial volunteer hours and countless positive coverage. Not only will this help generate awareness but also could help drive up fresh donations to the National Park Foundation and community organizations.  Your donation will go a very long way. 

Why does this cause mean so much to me?

The National Park Service does a great service for America and I want to bring my energies and intense work ethic to assisting them. I want to motivate and encourage people of all backgrounds to get out from behind the screen and enjoy the outdoors. Volunteerism and adventure go hand-in-hand. What better way to do that than to have an epic adventure, tell the story of America, and work alongside interesting people making a difference? Join me and let’s do something good today!

Supporters of this campaign will receive regular updates, ways to volunteer, and much more.

No words can adequately express my deepest and sincerest gratitude for your support. Thank you.
