Annual Gala
The Pflugerville Education Foundation Gala, with a “Galaxy Gala 2020” theme, was held on Saturday, February 1, 2020, at the Courtyard Marriott in Pflugerville. It was “Out of this World” and we raised over $145,000 – an increase of 27% over last year’s gala. CBS Austin Chief Meteorologist, Chikage Windler, was our superstar emcee. (See the CBS Austin video about our event.)
Featured again this year was a PfISD talent show, with schools vying for grant awards. Congratulations to Brookhollow Elementary School for winning the top prize of $5,000 for their mashup of Guardians of the Galaxy and Star Wars. Mott Elementary School won a grant of $3,000 for a jazz tap routine, and Highland Park Elementary School received $1,000 for their rendition of “Thriller.” (See photos of some of the fun.)
Thanks to our generous sponsors, donors, and attendees, we raise funds to help us provide grants and scholarships that will impact thousands of individuals in our community. (See more information about the event.)
