Lend a Shoulder Day


Lend a Shoulder Day is a field trip back to school to celebrate the work of Big Shoulders Fund. You will experience firsthand the powerful impact of our partnership, meeting the remarkable students whose dreams you have helped support over the years. On this journey, you might find yourself judging a science experiment, building a robot, competing in a math decathlon, reading with students, or judging a poetry slam! 

The field trip will culminate with a celebratory lunch that includes inspiring stories from a Big Shoulders Fund alumni scholar and remarks from Big Shoulders Fund President & CEO Joshua Hale.
