Thanks to you, students have internet!

Henry*, a PASD parent, lost his full-time employment in June and is struggling financially. Henry is working part-time jobs at this time and barely making ends meet. He can no longer afford internet service in his home. His son, Luke*, a student at PAHS, receives special education services and needs internet access in order to complete his schoolwork.  Because of you, PASD was able to provide a T-Mobile HotSpot to Luke, so that he could log on at home to complete assignments. Henry and Luke expressed gratitude for this service, as the hotspot we provided ensures the continuity of Luke’s live instruction and education. THANK YOU for helping families like Henry and Luke's! *Not their real names

Bridging the Digital Divide When we asked, "Can you help students in need?", Phoenixville said "ABSOLUTELY!" Over $40,000 has been donated this fall to help students like Luke connect to the internet. Those donations will help over 150 families. We have received gifts from community organizations like Kiwanis and Rotary, individuals, matching corporate grants, and even money raised by our students (see below):

Manavon and PAELC students created "Helper Nation" to help their community. They donated over $1,000 to fund internet access for their peers! Click the video above to see the "big reveal" of their donation!  Manavon student Brianna made flower pens to sell and donated the proceeds to our Together We Can fund, with an assist from Masks by Tonya!

It's not too late to contribute to the Together We Can fund. In addition to helping with technology needs, this fund supports weekend food supplies for students living in food-insecure households.

Yes, I can help!

2021 Phantom Fundraiser - Stay tuned . . . October is when we usually tell you to "Save the Date" for our next Phantom Fundraiser. We have made the decision to cancel our usual dinner and auction event which was scheduled for February 2021. However, our Fundraiser Committee is hard at work, planning some clever alternatives - stay tuned~

It's impossible to put into words how amazing you have been. We are grateful for the phone calls, emails, and notes asking how you can help those most in need. It is clear that you all share our vision of ensuring every student reaches her or his highest potential. Regards, Joan Cadigan Executive Director  Visit the PCEF WEBSITE
