Your ticket to Passport is a ticket to change the world! Funds raised will provide critical support for Museum educational initiatives and public programs, with an emphasis on outreach to underserved communities. Proceeds from past years have provided funding to bring all Alachua County fourth grade classes to the Museum free of charge and covered the cost of teacher training, classroom resources and bus transportation. Over 10,000 students and educators have benefited from this program to date.
