Latina Mom Bloggers Announces Media Partnership with The Passport Party Project

August 24, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Latina Mom Bloggers is honored to announce its media partnership with The Passport Party Project™. The Passport Party Project is a philanthropic global awareness initiative that will gift 100 underserved girls with their very first passports during a nationwide traveling campaign that began in September 2011 and will culminate in San Juan, Puerto Rico in April 2013 with a travel-themed Wrap Party.
The Passport Party Project was founded by award-winning travel blogger Tracey Friley in an effort to instill an appreciation and love of travel among multicultural communities. In June 2011 Tracey created The Passport Party, a one-day, travel-themed global awareness event for girls 11-15 that provided them with the necessary tools to obtain their very first passport. The rest is history, and since then the project has traveled to cities across the country including Austin, TX, Miami, FL, New York, NY and Washington DC helping young girls see the amazing opportunities that a life with travel can provide. Latina Mom Bloggers was thrilled to be part of the Miami Passport Party in April 2012, and we look forward to continuing to support this amazing organization as a media partner.
For additional information regarding the Passport Party:
