The July issue of Peninsula Magazine is here, and we are proud to share that it features the 2025 Real Estate Honor Roll. We are deeply grateful to the real estate professionals who have chosen to support Peninsula Education Foundation. Their generosity directly benefits PVPUSD students and schools by helping fund essential programs and staff.
Public education is a cornerstone of the Palos Verdes community. One of the most significant reasons families choose to move to this area is because of the excellent schools. The Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District continues to be recognized as one of the top districts in the state. That level of excellence is sustained through the collective support of families, businesses, and community leaders.
To our Real Estate Honor Roll partners, thank you for recognizing the importance of strong public schools and for helping to ensure that students across all 17 PVPUSD campuses have the opportunities they deserve. Your support helps keep our schools and our community strong!
Each year, Peninsula Education Foundation is able to fund vital staff and programs across all 17 Palos Verdes public schools because of the generosity of our community. On Thursday, May 29, we will host a special evening in appreciation of those who have given $2,500 or more during the 2024–25 school year.
This Major Donor Reception is our way of saying thank you to the families, community members, and businesses who have made a significant investment in public education. Their generosity has helped PEF continue to fund music and PE teachers, school counselors, STEM programs, library aides, college and career center staff, teacher grants, and more—ensuring our students receive the outstanding education they deserve.
The event will include light refreshments, cocktails, wine, and an opportunity to connect with fellow donors, school leadership, and members of the PEF Board of Trustees. Invitations have been sent to all eligible donors. If you have questions about the event or your giving status, please contact us at director@pvpef.org. If you would like to become a Major Donor, please donate HERE.
Thank you for helping us keep Palos Verdes schools strong!
We need your help to raise $100,000 in 1 day!
Your donation to PEF provides our children the excellent education necessary to become future thinkers, leaders, and world-changers.
