For the last, I don't know, five, seven years, I've done in Champaign, Illinois, I've taken every single sixth grader, put them on a bus with a T-shirt.
We customize a T-shirt for the special outing.
They go on a bus.
The bus goes to Chicago.
We take them to the Shedd Aquarium or the Museum of Science and Industry or the Museum of Natural History.
And we give them a box lunch for lunch and we bring them back.
And we don't require them to give the $5 or the $10 that typically somebody has to co-pay for a field trip.
I mean, we started out just doing one class.
And then Tina Gilman said to me, who runs my foundation, she said, you know, why don't we just do the entire community and do all the schools in Champaign-Urbana, take all the kids?
And I said, great, let's do it.
And so you can start out by taking some kids on a field trip and show taking inner city kids that would never, ever, you know, get a Jimmy John's box lunch or a new T-shirt or ride a luxury coach to Chicago and see a museum and get a candy bar and come home.
You know, you don't have to be that extravagant.
You know, you can...
You can start out with whatever is natural.
We took a high school here in Champaign and every away football game, we did a box lunch for all the football players and all the cheerleaders and all the people that went to the away game.
I mean, it's so simple.
I mean, you can just do such little things that are easy to do.
And so if you do something that is comfortable for you, that makes you feel good, then that's wonderful.
Then it becomes a win-win.
The person, the recipient feels it
