Endowment Campaign 2010 Launched |

Endowment Campaign 2010 Launched with $20,000 from the Endowment Committee
Endowment Goal Set at $100,000
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
The Phoenixville Community Education Foundation (PCEF) has been actively planning for the Fifth Annual Phoenixville Community Education Foundation Endowment Gala scheduled for Friday, October 15, 2010 from 7 p.m. to midnight. This wonderful evening will be celebrated at the beautiful Phoenixville Foundry, the most “premier turn-of-the-century special event facility in Chester County.”
Our goal is to raise an additional $100,000 for the endowment fund through Gala 2010, which was launched with a $20,000 commitment from four members of the Endowment Committee. In order to fully achieve this goal, we are hoping you will participate as one of our primary Phantom Pride Family of Sponsors. Building the endowment fund is important to our Mission because it will provide for the long term security of PCEF. Your ‘endowed’ investment will work to support education in the Phoenixville area during good times and lean years, and long after all of us are gone.

Thus far, a combined total of 41 students have participated, with 12 graduating seniors. Of the graduates, 11 have continued onto college. Of those enrolled in college, 10 have remained in college: 5 will complete their sophomore year this year, and 5 will complete their freshmen year. Within this population, 6 are on the Dean’s List.
Our students are enrolled in the following colleges: Valley Forge Christian College, Kutztown University, Virginia State, Montgomery County Community College, Gwynedd Mercy College, University of Pittsburg, Indiana University of Pennsylvania and West Chester University.
This year’s DWD students have been accepted into Penn State University, West Chester University, Delaware State University, Drexel University, Franciscan University, Belmont University, and Bloomsburg University.
Many of our DWD Alumni have returned to the PAHS as guest speakers to share real-life success stories of how hard work pays off and how people like our primary sponsors helped change their lives—and redirect their futures.
