We want to make an educational trip to Whitaker Center a reality for underserved schools. Thanks to the generosity of individual and corporate donors, the Whitaker Center Educational Outreach Fund can help assist with the cost of a fieldtrip to Whitaker Center and cover experiences such as admission fees for students and chaperones to the Harsco Science Center and documentary films in the Select Medical Digital Cinema.
The Fund can also assist school groups with transportation costs related to their trip and will subsidize the cost of admission to our Surgery Live! program and Discovery Camps during the summer months. To make our educational experiences available to everyone, these funds also provide discounts towards our Whitaker On Wheels outreach program that brings the dynamic programming we offer at Whitaker Center direct to schools. Contact us at 717-724-3849 or groupsales@whitakercenter.org.
