Kids Exploring the World Around Them
The Watts Housing Developments are less than 20 miles from the Santa Monica Pier, yet many of the children who reside in Watts have never seen the ocean, been to a movie theater, or seen a professional sporting event.
We Benefit Children hosts several field trips throughout the year, expanding the world for these children beyond their neighborhoods. These memorable occasions continue to be a meaningful way for our members and their families to become personally involved with the kids we support and to see how WBC dollars benefit those in need.
I appreciated the field trip to Griffith Park Observatory. I learned many things like there is more than one galaxy. Without a doubt, I want to be a scientist. Adriana, 5th Grade

Sponsored Field Trips
Sponsorships are always welcome! Consider supporting WBC at one of these fun events.
Science in Action Day
150 little scientists are invited to experience our fun-filled Science In Action Day, during which they will participate in various hands-on science-themed activities at locations such as the Griffith Observatory, California Science Center, and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.
Sports Events
Professional sports events are always special! Enjoying an afternoon at Dodger Stadium or a game at the SOFI Stadium is an experience these kids will never forget!
VIP Tours
VIP tours of Disney Studios, Warner Bros., and the Grammy Museum help to plant seeds for future careers in the entertainment industry.
In The Wild Day
250 kids kick off their Summer with We Benefit Children at our Summer Celebration event, where we spend a day at places like the Santa Monica Pier, the Los Angeles Zoo, or the Long Beach Aquarium. For some of these kids, it will be the first time they’ve been to the beach or had the chance to see an animal up close and personal.
Holiday Extravaganza
200 kids enjoy a private shopping experience at a local bookstore, visit and take photos with Santa, cookies, and milk, and then attend a private screening of a holiday movie with popcorn and the works; this is often the only holiday celebration these kids will experience.
I have never gotten to pick my own books out at a Book Store. I can’t believe I got to buy brand-new cookbooks. I want to be a chef and these books will help me improve my cooking. 4th Grade Student,
