You can Help Pleasanton Students with Scholarships

This year the Pleasanton Community of Character Collaborative honored 5 students with scholarships of $1,000. This scholarship honors former PUSD Board President, Juanita Haugen who passed away from cancer in 2007. The initial scholarships were only two for $500. To read about this year’s amazing students, go to www.CommunityofCharacter.org / scholarships.

A BBQ Fundraiser and Auction will be held on August 19 to raise additional funds. If you are reading this, YOU ARE INVITED! The cost is $75 per person. (www.pleasanton.org calendar/events/Aug 19) (EVENT FLYER)

If you can’t come, you can help with an auction item, here are a few ideas.

Make a basket with “stuff” you don’t need.
Donate a gift certificate or unsold inventory from your business
Donate a service (photography, tax preparation, window cleaning)
If you have season tickets, donate a pair of tickets to an athletic event
If you have a vacation home or time share, donate a week or weekend stay

We have no administrative costs or paid employees, 100% of your donation will go to scholarships. The Community of Character board is donating all the food for the BBQ.

Any donations would be appreciated and can be taken or sent to the Pleasanton Chamber address: (or we’ll pick it up). 777 Peters Ave, Pleasanton CA 94566

If you don’t have anything to donate, how about a dollar or two… or more… there’s a donation button on this page below:

With YOUR HELP, we will increase the number of scholarships to Pleasanton High School students.
