Two Big-Hearted Children. One Magical Mission
Ever since they were toddlers, Hannah and James Scherr have loved visiting Slide Ranch. Then in 2012, when Hannah was 11 and James was 9, they decided they wanted to help other kids enjoy our farm by the sea--they created a cycling event called Slide Ride. Besides just raising money, the kids wanted to help their friends and family get to know Slide Ranch, while raising awareness about the work we do.
Their efforts have raised over $6,400 and helped over 289 kids attend our field trips. We hope their story inspires YOU to give a gift to Slide Ranch.
The real gifts worth giving are those that inspire a better world for our children
Check out the wonderful Slide Ranch full-page advert that ran in the San Francisco Chronicle on Dec 10! Thank you to Slide Ranch supporter, Shelley Lindgren, Sommelier/Owner of A16 and SPQR, for nominating us for the San Francisco Chronicle Gives program which donates free advertising space to local charities. Thank you also to Guru for donating their talent and time to create this advert. We hope it gives you a little more inspiration to give.
Any time of year is a good time to give to Slide Ranch.
Your donation of just $5 or more will help give thousands of children and youth in the Bay Area a life-enhancing opportunity to connect with wildlife, healthy food and the outdoors through our hands-on educational programs and overnight field trips at our ranch.
Your donation will help provide essential teaching supplies, cooking utensils and even pay for youth from low income and underserved communities the chance to visit Slide Ranch this year.
