PEF Bourbon Street BASH
Gala Fundraising Celebration

Saturday, September 8, 2018!

Each year in September we come together as a community to celebrate our students and schools with the annual PEF BASH Benefit Gala. This spectacular night of dinner, dancing, auctions and more culminates with the official launch of the Foundation’s FUND THE FUTURE PEF Impact Grant fundraising.  When our guests raise their bidding paddle during the FUND THE FUTURE auction lot 100% of every dollar pledged goes to support innovative and engaging programs benefiting students in their classroom to elevate their educational opportunities today, tomorrow and in the future!  

This year we host the PEF Bourbon Street BASH with headlining band, Pride & Joy!  Our pre-event online auction takes place August 16-30 where supporters can bid from all over the world and win incredible items in advance of the gala.  Visit our event website to create your account and view the items up for bid!

In 2017, the launch at the  BASH for FUND THE FUTURE totaled over $155,000 in pledges in a single night!  We continue to invite others to join us throughout the year to increase our giving to the schools through the PEF Impact Grant Program.  Our goal again this year is to exceed $250,000 in pledged support and with your participation, we are confident we are on track for another record fundraising milestone.  To donate to FUND THE FUTURE click here.
