CULTURE OF PHILANTHROPY
70% of PCS students need financial aid to participate in our programs. The following campaigns ensure that PCS can support every student and family from elementary school into adulthood.
COASTAL CHALLENGE
PEER TO PEER EVENT
Are you willing to reach out to your network to raise funds for PCS students? The Coastal Challenge takes place every Fall. Participants from up and down the coast join teams to raise money and compete in various sporting events. Without the Coastal Challenge, PCS would not be able to operate our summer or elementary school programs.
Are you willing to join friends and family to support a student from 6th grade to college? PCS supports 100 scholarships for students in the Junior Squash League and Rally Portland. JSL Scholarships are $180/m or $2,180/y. Rally Portland Scholarships are $360/m or $4,360/y. Scholarships can be split by up to 10 supporters. You can also join a community scholarship for any monthly amount. This is a 7-year, non-binding pledge.
