Why Miles for Mitrata Kids?
Outside of Contact Center sponsorships, Miles for Mitrata Kids fully funds the Contact Center! We have currently raised 69% our fundraising goal, but only have 56% of our goal participants. We would be unable to operate the Contact Center without our dedicated Contact Center sponsors, and the participants and donors of Miles for Mitrata Kids. Would you consider being a participant or donor?
Trips Created to Encourage Discovery, Exploration, & Adventure
Thanks to YOUR generosity during the Fund-A-Need Auction at Trivia Night 2023, three groups of our children were able to attend Discovery Field Trips that were filled with sightseeing, learning, and hiking!
