"I learned of PCF through my dear friend Charlie Schmuck. I know first-hand what a big and generous heart Charlie has, so I immediately wanted to learn more. When he shared with me the details, and especially the incredible success rate, I knew that PCF was an organization with which my company and I would want to partner. From our initial chat, our relationship has grown to a point where we have sponsored one student for four years and are sponsoring another student who’s making her way through her college years. We also have provided summer internships to a number of PCF scholars and have encouraged our colleagues to become mentors. I’m delighted that many of them have accepted the invitation to become mentors, including two of my daughters.
In searching for ways to increase our support, Charlie and I also came up with the idea of hosting an intimate golf tournament to raise more scholarships. We started the PCF Invitational five years ago and raised two scholarships in our first year. Through the generous participation of many of our friends, this year we raised nearly 10 scholarships – a record!
PCF is solving one of the most pressing challenges in our society – breaking the cycle of poverty through education that truly changes lives! It’s an honor for my company and me to assist in some small way in advancing PCF’s mission."
We gratefully acknowledge our Scholarship Circle donors who make four-year commitments to support a scholar's journey through college.
We made every effort to create an accurate list of our donors. Please contact Natalie Walker, natalie@peninsulacollegefund.org, for any errors or omissions, with our sincere regrets.
