🌟 Get Ready for PEF’s 2025 Donation Days! 🌟

The Pacifica Education Foundation (PEF) is thrilled to announce the return of Donation Days, happening November 12–14!  During Donation Days, we create a friendly competition among schools in our district so staff, teachers, and families can show their school pride — and win fun prizes along the way!

Our goal: raise $85,000 and expand our membership base by 100 families by midnight on November 14 — and we need your help to make it happen.

Whether you’re joining as a new member, renewing your membership, or making a one-time donation of any size, every contribution helps support music, arts and science programming for our students.

❤️ WHY SUPPORT PEF? ❤️

The Pacifica School District is one of the lowest-funded districts per student among San Mateo County’s 17 elementary school districts. PEF bridges that gap by funding vital programs including:

• Elementary School Music

• Middle School Band

• Stage Performance and Rhythmic Culture Poetry

• Hands-on Science Programming

Together, we’re helping keep music, arts and science education thriving in our schools. Read more about our programs here.

🎁 HOW CAN I DONATE? 🎁

• Become a PEF member. Join today and enjoy exclusive benefits, including year-round discounts at over 60 local Pacifica businesses — just show your digital membership card!

• Renew your expired membership. Now’s the perfect time to renew. Consider upgrading to the next level for even more perks and event benefits.

• Donate any dollar amount. Every dollar counts — your contribution directly supports students, teachers, and programs across Pacifica.
