GRATITUDE TO OUR 2022-23 DONORS
ere at Muddy Sneakers, we are filled with immense gratitude as we reflect on
the impact of your generosity during the 2022-23 fiscal year. Your unwavering
support has enabled us to continue energizing learning through outdoor experiential
education, where students connect with the land, become more active, and gain selfconfidence
while improving their science skills.
As we turn the pages of our Annual Report to the Gratitude section, we are reminded
of the incredible journeys we embarked on together. Your contributions have not only
provided opportunities for children to explore the natural world but have also paved
the way for experiential learning that goes beyond the classroom.
Your belief in our vision has allowed us to tread new paths, both metaphorically and
literally. From funding expeditions to providing essential curriculum and on-call
expertise for our public school teachers, your generosity has been the driving force
behind our growth and success. Each dollar donated has translated into a deeper
connection between young learners and the ecosystems surrounding them.
With heartfelt appreciation, the entire Muddy Sneakers crew acknowledges
your instrumental role in creating these transformative experiences.
Your partnership has empowered us to sow the seeds
of knowledge, compassion, respect for nature, and
greater science aptitude in the hearts and minds of
thousands of North Carolinian fifth-graders. Together,
we are fostering a generation prepared to embrace the
challenges of the future with a fundamental
understanding of the interconnectedness of life on our
planet.
We extend our sincere thanks for your continued
support. Your contributions are not just monetary; they
are a testament to the shared belief that every child
deserves the opportunity to explore, learn, and grow in
the embrace of nature.
Hope to see you on the trail,
