Join PEF in Honoring the Class of 2019

Petaluma Educational Foundation Continues Tradition of Supporting Local Students

Join us as the Petaluma Educational Foundation (PEF) applauds the soon to be graduates of the Class of 2019! As your longtime local nonprofit educational foundation, PEF has been supporting student learning for over 37 years. We are excited to be celebrating ALL graduates; including 6th grade students, 8th grade students, and high school students enabling these young adults to follow their dreams to continue their education. Next week at our annual PEF Scholarship Reception, we will acknowledge graduating seniors who will pursue their educational goals at 4-year colleges, 2-year colleges, or vocational schools.

As a way to “pay it forward” and show our communal school spirit, we are asking you to pledge your support of all graduates with a $20.19 donation to PEF honoring the members of the Class of 2019. This gift will continue the lasting legacy of our community’s passion for enriching and enhancing the academic experience of each and every student in grades TK -12 at all 38 public, private and charter schools in Petaluma.

Make your donation to the Class of 2019 by visiting pefinfo.com, choosing the Honoring the Class of 2019 tab and making your financial pledge. Our donors are the backbone of the PEF spirit and their generous support is how we are able to fulfill the mission of PEF awarding scholarships to high school graduates and impact grants to local schools. This school year, PEF reached the incredible milestone of awarding a cumulative $6.9 million in grants and scholarships to local students and schools since the programs first started. Be a part of the PEF legacy starting with a gift of $20.19 today!
