“I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.”

Partners
Because what we’ve experienced while traveling has meant so much to us, we want to support local organizations we’ve connected with over the years. To help ensure we have a positive impact on those communities, we provide a portion of our proceeds from your trips to our nonprofit partner organizations. We also have nonprofit partners on Cape Cod, where we’re based. As part of the registration process, we’ll ask you to choose which of our partners you’d like to support.
