Fundraising Events

The tuition for each Pillar student is covered by tuition paid by the student’s school district. But to pursue projects that go “above and beyond” the minimum requirements, we depend on fundraising dollars.

Fundraising has allowed us to build new preschool rooms, a student medical center, sensory room, vision room and library at the elementary school, and the new computer center and media studio at the high school. All of the funds raised through these events go to the particular school’s Annual Fund and support items that directly impact our students.
