BATTLESHIP COVE COMMUNITY BOATING
Using the challenges of sailing as a metaphor for overcoming life's obstacles, this scholarship program teaches the underprivileged kids of Greater Fall River about the rewards of responsibility, self-reliance and hard work.

VETERANS' VOICES
The Commonwealth's largest veterans' oral history program, Veterans' Voices has collected the fascinating first-hand stories of Senator John McCain, Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Thomas Hudner, former Red Sox slugger Dom DiMaggio, and Secretary of Veterans Affairs Hon. Anthony Principi.

LIBERTY WEEKS
Battleship Cove needs sponsors for this two-week festival of free educational activities and youth workshops.

EDUCATIONAL STAFF & MATERIALS
Help our education department grow by sponsoring teaching positions or educational materials at Battleship Cove.

A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY: Certainly Battleship Cove is one of New England's most affordable field trip destinations: At just $5/student, the museum gives schools a lot of "bang for their buck."

However, travel expenses prevent many schoolchidlren from visiting Battleship Cove, often representing more than 75% of a field trip's total cost.

So many of us were first introduced to Big Mamie and her berthmates during field trips, but now school budget woes threaten to prevent an entire generation of youngsters from discovering Battleship Cove.

You can make a difference by sponsoring a field trip to Battleship Cove. Your contribution of just $450 sends 16 students on a journey they'll never forget.

To learn how you can sponsor a field trip, please contact the Education Department.
