Park City Education Foundation Background
For nearly 40 years, the Park City Education Foundation (PCEF) has raised millions of dollars to support public education in the Park City School District.
PCEF is investing over $1,500,000 into Park City's public schools reaching every student during the 2024/25 school year. Donors like you help power education in Park City and support over 100 programs in all seven schools including: art, music, STEM, coding, Preschool, first-generation student mentoring, and more.
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, 4500 students and 500 district employees. Our email list is 8,000 supporters strong, and we have a 62% 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.
