Turn Back Time is a non-profit, nature-based education center located in Paxton, MA (EIN 45-3948536).  Turn Back Time’s mission is to help people recognize nature’s ability to teach and heal.  Since 2012, TBT has developed 58 acres with an active beaver pond, forested trail system, educational farm and gardens.  

Through educational programs, nature play and farm education, TBT is committed to offering programs for underserved populations with accessibility to nature in a welcoming, creative and energizing environment.  TBT’s goal is to enroll 30% at risk youth, specifically youth living under the poverty line, individuals who are neurodiverse, on the Autism spectrum, have a documented ADHD diagnosis, are in foster care, or are involved with the department of children and families. 

TBT’s embrace of these populations provides additional support to community professionals and families looking for affordable, insightful programs for children.  Through the pandemic, TBT has continued to provide safe educational programming that has been essential to the health and wellness of participants throughout Worcester County.

As a business and potential sponsor, we are inviting you to be a part of our silent auction for the Annual June Scholarship Fundraiser to raise funds that support our underserved populations. The funds raised each year during our silent auction provide equal access to programming for all, without financial discrimination, which is a critical tool ensuring those who need the healing benefits of nature receive them. Sponsors will also be recognized on social media and the silent auction page banner. 

Specifically, a goal of raising $10,000 at this year’s Annual June Scholarship Fundraiser will help celebrate TBT’s 10th Anniversary year!  With your support, the farm at TBT will be transformed for one summer night but continue to impact many lives throughout the year.

Thank you for taking the time to consider a donation of support,
