Honoring the Class of 2017!

Join the Petaluma Educational Foundation in celebrating the Class of 2017

Join us as the Petaluma Educational Foundation (PEF) applauds the soon to be graduates of the Class of 2017! As your longtime local nonprofit educational foundation, PEF has been supporting student learning for over 35 years. We are excited to be to 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 now or in the future at a 4-year, 2-year, vocational school or entering the workforce in the industry of their passion.

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 $20.17 donation to PEF honoring the members of the Class of 2017. 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 K -12 at all 38 public, private and charter schools in Petaluma.

Make your donation to the Class of 2017 by visiting pefinfo.com, choosing the Honoring the Class of 2017 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 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 $20.17 today!
