Help Ashton Not Get Lost in Europe (JROTC Trip 2027!)
Meet Ashton Noel, proud cadet of York High School JROTC and future explorer of snacks, history, and questionable gelato flavors in Germany and Italy — Summer 2027.
This year, Ashton has made a bold announcement:
“Please don’t buy me gifts. Just help send me to Europe.” (He promises he’s not running away. Probably.)
Instead of Christmas and birthday presents, he’s asking for donations toward his JROTC trip. He wants to contribute to the cost himself — because responsibility, leadership, and also because the food in Europe looks amazing.
Your donation helps fund:
• Ashton learning real history instead of YouTube history
• Ashton navigating foreign countries without getting lost (no guarantees)
• Ashton representing his JROTC unit like a champ
• Ashton eating pasta so good he may cry
If you’d normally give him a gift, tossing a few dollars into his adventure fund would make his day. Every bit gets him closer to Europe — and farther from asking us for souvenirs.
Thanks for supporting Ashton’s big (and slightly chaotic) adventure! 🌍✈️🍕🇩🇪🇮🇹
