Support Play Around the World

Thank you for your interest in supporting Play Around the World. Each year we host several initiatives to raise funds (approximately $60,000) to offset the costs of the Play Around the World program. We welcome any contribution to the initiative that works best for you or your organization.

Sponsorship

Sponsoring a student provides a huge benefit for Play Around the World by providing much needed funding to individual students who wish to take part in the program. Each students is responsible for raising approximately $5,500 for costs (not including tuition and immunizations) to participate in Play Around the World. You can support a student in part, or in whole. We are happy to make a presentation to your organization to help facilitate sponsorship. Tax receipts and sponsor recognition is provided.

Donations

Cash donations are much appreciated. We are able to issue tax receipts for financial and in-kind contributions.
