PEF raises funds for homeless students
The Parkrose Educational Foundation auction, Bloom Where You’re Planted, was a successful event. The auction committee thanks everyone who attended, donated and volunteered for the 14th annual auction Saturday, April 22. More than $44,000 was raised, with almost $14,000 going to the special appeal bid to the Gateway Homeless Student Program. It was another great evening of fundraising that helps PEF continue to enhance the educational experiences of Parkrose students.
