The Historical Seaport: Lady Washington & Hawaiian Chieftain

Help us change lives by sponsoring a Voyages of Discovery Education Program! Every child dreams of sailing aboard a tall ship. Many teachers want to offer this exceptional learning opportunity, but their funding for field trips has been cut. You can help these teachers and their students by becoming an Educational Program Sponsor. Your donation directly supports teachers and students wishing to participate in our shipboard programs but are unable to do so. Your sponsorship allows these students to visit our ships and work alongside our shipboard educators raising a sail, singing a sea shanty, and participating in an unforgettable shipboard learning adventure.

"As soon as the kids could see the boats, the bus was filled with 'oohs' and 'aahs'." -- Robin Ward, Finley Elementary, Pasco, Wash.

Sponsorships are available for students and teachers only; chaperones will not be sponsored. All sponsors receive a thank-you letter from GHHSA and acknowledgement of the donation on our website (unless the sponsor prefers to remain anonymous). Class sponsors may receive thank-you letters from the students as well. Class Sponsors may designate a port where they would prefer their donation used. GHHSA will make every effort to comply with such a request, thought this cannot be guaranteed. Individual sponsors will not be able to designate a specific port.

• Individual Student Sponsorship ($10 and up) — A donation as small as $10 can sponsor one student to participate in a shipboard education program.*
