Bucks4Buses

One of the pillars of our mission is to ensure access for the youth of our community to the high-quality educational programming made available by our ten beneficiaries.


IN 2018, OVER 57,000 SAN DIEGO COUNTY SCHOOL CHILDREN EXPERIENCED OUR BENEFICIARIES EDUCATION PROGRAMS


We are committed to providing opportunities for young students to reap the benefits provided by science-based, hands-on programs, as well as exposure to the wide array of visual and performing arts offered in Balboa Park.

Patrons partners with community foundations, businesses and private donors to make these educational opportunities a reality for underserved schools who have no resources to transport the students to enjoy the cultural riches of Balboa Park.


Approximately 65% of students served Are from Title 1 schools
