Ways to Give

GIVE $180 TO BEAT THE CALL

July 1 - September 30

WHY GIVE $180 TO BEAT THE CALL?

PCEF asks for $180* per child because it's just $1 per school day! 

That's less than a cup of coffee each morning...In fact, there is not much you can buy for a dollar these days.

There is no better deal on earth: a single dollar per school day = infinite impact on your child's future.

☎  BEAT THE CALL ☎  IS SEPTEMBER 18-30th!
Give before September 30, 2023* and:

  1. We won't call you during our Phone-a-Thon...
  2. You'll help your school win big time cash from the UPS Stores Park City...
  3. You boost your child's chance to win a PARTY for their class for Elementary School, Middle School & Junior High! And, for High School families – donate for a chance to win VIP PARKING SPOT and 6 VIP SEATS** at Graduation (**eligible for Senior families only)

You can make it even easier by setting up monthly donations:

  • 1 child = $15/month = $180 per year
  • 2 children = $30/month = $360 per year
  • 3 children = $45/month = $540 per year

*Donate anytime between July 1, 2023, and September 30, 2023. Minimum $20 donation to be eligible for prizes. Any donation amount counts to Beat the Call.

SCHOLAR CIRCLE CREATES A "LATTE" IMPACT

When you give $1,000 or more, you Beat the Call and you're welcomed into Scholar Circle! 

Scholar Circle is a community of families, businesses, and community members who want to make an immediate and lasting impact on our children's education.

This $1,000 investment – $85/month or $5.55/day – is approximately the cost of a large latte each morning.

We invite you to consider the astounding value of joining Scholar Circle to Beat the Call this year, and create a "latte" opportunities for Park City students!
 

Make a life-changing gift and support a PCEF-funded program.

Your donations fund initiatives that inspire all Park City students to successfully reach their academic and lifelong potential.

BEAT THE CALL → SCHOOL SPECIFICS
