GIVE $360 TO BUILD THE FOUNDATION
September 23 - October 4, 2024
Give $360 to Build the Foundation is PCEF's NEW Parent Appeal Campaign!
When you give to PCEF, you Build the Foundation for every student to succeed.
Our schools are excellent even though $170 million of our education tax dollars leave Park City.
PCEF funds help keep PCSD great and build the foundation for every student to succeed.
Build the Foundation is July 1 - October 4, 2024
Give before October 4, 2024,* and:
- We won't call you during our Phone-a-Thon.
- You'll help your school win big time cash in UPS Stores Park City grants.
- You boost your child's chance to win a PARTY for their class (elementary, middle, & jr. high).
- And: high school families can donate for a chance to win 6 VIP SEATS** at graduation
(**senior families only) or a VIP parking spot for your 10th-12th grade student (minimum $20 donation to be eligible for PCHS prizes).
- *Donate anytime between July 1, 2024, and October 4, 2025.
- One donation counts for every child in a family, it is not necessary to make a donation for each child.
- Any donation amount of at least $1 counts to Build the Foundation.
- Gifts given at the Red Apple Gala on October 5th will count toward the Build the Foundation competitions.
