Park City Education Foundation Background

Park City Education Foundation (PCEF) has been serving Park City’s community of educators, parents and students for nearly years.  We fund educator-powered initiatives that inspire all Park City students to reach their academic and lifelong potential.

Thanks to donor support, PCEF funds initiatives such as: Universal Preschool, Afterschool, Elementary Visual Arts, Real World Learning, Classroom Grants, Bright Futures, PCCAPS, and emerging innovative ideas that will shape the education and community landscape.   We collaborate with Park City School District to build programs from the ground-up, measure impact, and track for success.  

 The Red Apple Gala:: Great Investment in Education and a Unique Sponsorship Opportunity

PCEF has exclusive access and directly communicates with 3,000 district families, 5000 students and 500 district employees. Our email list is 6,700 supporters strong, and we have a 37% open rate. The 300 Gala guests are business owners, c-suite executives, community leaders, and passionate supporters of Park City’s public schools. Every year the Red Apple Gala sells out and manages to break the previous year’s fundraising record.
More than just a great advertising opportunity, Gala sponsors are investing in a great cause: public education in Park City. The Red Apple Gala is an opportunity to celebrate students in our community and to celebrate the business partnerships, volunteers, and parents that make our schools strong. Together, we can inspire ALL Park City students to reach their academic and lifelong potential.
