2009-10 It Only Takes Cents Campaign

An annual fund-raising campaign of the PBL Education Foundation since 2004 has been our program called It Only Takes Cents.  Donors are asked to donate from five cents to $1 for each student enrolled in the PBL Unit 10 school district for that year.  Donations from this campaign are used to supply grants to PBL educators.  For a summary of grants awarded in previous years, visit PBL Grants.

Targeted donors include:

  1. A mass mailing to:
    a.  Local Business people
    b.  Civic-minded individuals in the community
    c.  Retired Faculty from the district
    d.  Alumni from Buckley, Loda, Roberts, Paxton, and PBL schools
  2. Payroll deductions from current staff and faculty of the PBL school system
