PCEF’s Accomplishments Over the Last 6 Months
It is hard to believe that the first half of our fiscal year has come and gone! Here’s an update of what PCEF has been up to!
This Year So Far . . .
1. Activities Access Fund – In July, the PCEF provided $10,000 to the school district to help economically disadvantaged students with the Pay to Participate fees that were instituted this year to offset the cost of the extracurricular activities in the middle school and high school.
2. Summer Academics – PCEF was awarded a grant of $5,000 from the 1675 Foundation in support of the 2012 elementary summer remediation program. Along with these funds, PCEF will provide $3,000 to Phoenixville Area Positive Alternatives (PAPA) to help fund the enrichment portion of this summer program.
3. Pack a Backpack– for the 8th year in a row, PCEF has provided fully stocked backpacks to preschool and elementary students in need, as well as the requested supplies for middle school and high school students in need. Costco of King of Prussia generously donated over 300 backpacks, with SEI Cares and many community members making donations of supplies. Over the last 8 years, PCEF has delivered over 2,600 backpacks to students in the Phoenixville area! (more…)

Happy Holidays from PCEF
This is the time of year when we remember what is truly important in our lives – our family, friends, and community. It is also the time of year that we often give gifts to people and causes which are important to us.
The PCEF Board would like to remind you of the good work the foundation does in the Phoenixville area community. Our priorities for the coming year are listed here. As you can see, our efforts help children from pre-K through college.
Why not add PCEF to your list of holiday recipients? Supporting us is as easy as clicking here.
Best wishes to you and yours for a wonderful holiday season!

It’s not too late to help Phoenixville students! – The “phantom” Phantom Ball
Have you ever wondered where the funding comes from for PASD programs like Computers on Wheels, Mini-Grants for Teachers, Scholarships for High School Seniors, or After-School Tutoring?
How about the Wall of Fame, the Stock Market Game, the Phantom TV Studio, or the Activities Access Fund which helps families who cannot afford the new Pay to Participate fee?
We provide it! We are the Phoenixville Community Education Foundation (PCEF).
For many years, PCEF has held a fall gala to raise money for our students. This year we decided to forgo this event and ask our supporters to send us a direct donation instead of spending money on a gala ticket, babysitter, and outfit to wear.
If you have attended our events in the past, or you have a child in PASD schools, we urge you to support PCEF – our programs touch just about every child in our district. Want details? Click here for our list of priorities.
We welcome donations in any amount. If you have any questions about PCEF or our “phantom” ball, please take a look around on our website or call us at 610-933-5911.
2011 Fall Gala / Phantom Ball
The PCEF board has decided to host the Fall Gala every other year. In place of the Gala in 2011, a letter writing campaign in support of PCEF programs has been launched. Please click here for details on this campaign.
