We are currently raising $11,000 for a 7-day trip to Comalapa in Guatemala to help build a school out of waste materials. Donations of all amounts are greatly appreciated. No amount is too small!!
We are selling Get Fresh Crew Environmental Activity and Coloring Books for $5, T-shirts for $15, Bottles of Recognition for $25, and Tires of Recognition for $50. Local business owners can show your support for the community by purchasing a tire or becoming a sponsor. Tires are on display at UMass-Boston and also have an online home on our website. Your tire can display your name or can be purchased in honor or memory of a loved one.
The best way to donate is by check. Please make your checks out to UMass-Boston. In the memo section of the check, write: Upward Bound Trip to Guatemala. Mail your checks to:
Erica Pernell
UMass-Boston Upward Bound
100 Morrissey Boulevard

If it is impossible to donate by check, please donate by dropping off cash in person.
Last resort: Donate online by visiting UMass-Boston’s Online Giving page. The form asks what you would like your donation to support.
