During these times of decreased educational funding, fundraising is an important aspect of the PACE program. These monies are used to finance field trips, including buses, admission costs, etc. Here is a breakdown of how our fundraising dollars are dispersed throughout the school year:

• Direct donations of $100 from each student's family will greatly reduce the need for additional fundraising throughout the year. If every student's family gives $100 per school year, our budget goals will be met. If you haven't already contributed a $100 for your student directly to the PACE program for this school year, please consider making this tax deductible donation right away. Make your checks payable to "JFK Pace" and send the check into the PACE office today.
  
  
• The Raley's and BelAir Quality of Life Cards are available for all PACE students and are an easy way to raise funds for the PACE program. Help us raise money without costing YOU anything! Every time you purchase your groceries, give your card to the cashier to scan and Raley's/BelAir will donate a percentage of your purchases to your designated charities (up to three different charities, PACE being one of them of course. If you received your card through the PACE program, you are automatically setup to donate 100% to PACE). You can click here to check your current designations. If you need help activating or modifying your card, click here.
  
  Following are the dollars we have raised so far (and with no effort!):
  • $1,400 (2005-2006)
  • $2,500 (2006-2007)
  • $1,046 (2007-2008 YTD)
    
    
  Contact Karen Uyeno by email to get your card or additional cards for family and friends.  On your email, please include your name, your student's name, and a phone number where you can be reached.
  
  
• Working at Arco Arena is fun and profitable for PACE.  Though it takes a lot of volunteers each night (40 to 45 parents), the payback is good - around $1200 per night (this is the cost to rent two buses!).  Your help is needed!   Please send an email to Davida Leong to help out.  On your email, please include your name, your student's name, and a phone number where you can be reached. Dates and times include Sunday 4/6/2008 @ 4pm.
  
  
• During the fall, PACE sells the Entertainment Book.   Stay tuned for more information at the beginning of each school year.
