For 46 years, Peninsula Education Foundation (PEF) has raised vital funds to provide an excellent education for all students in the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District. We rely on generous contributions from our parents and community members to help fund the programs and teachers that inspire our students. With a rich academic environment, our children will be both equipped and adaptable to meet the future.
Every donation impacts the future of our children.
Thank you for investing in education.
