BECOME A PART OF PEF FANSS -- FAMILIES AND NEIGHBORS SUPPORTING SCHOOLS

In the past year a group of parents began discussing ways to get more families in the PUSD actively supporting PEF and its vision. Hence, FANSS was born -- Families and Neighbors Supporting Schools. Our goal is to have every family be a part of FANSS, including yours. We invite all community members and businesses to join our initiative as well.

MEMBERSHIP
Become a member of PEF FANSS with a single donation of any size. All donations are tax deductible. Most importantly, we want you to be involved. Join now!

As its first project FANSS is launching a new Technology Challenge initiative to raise much-needed technology funds for PUSD schools. A local family has offered $100,000 in matching funds. Thus, each dollar you donate to PEF as a FANSS member will be matched by a gift to our schools for technology. Feel free to designate your child's school. We have until Feb. 1, 2010, to reach our goal to receive the matching funds. (No individual school will receive more than $10,000 of the matching funds. However, there is no cap on the amount that families and friends may give to the school.)

Please help us reach our goal by donating today! Click here to donate!
