🎓 Amy Nava's College Beginning ☀️

“I wouldn't be here without Bright Futures, LIA, and Dream Big"

- Amy Nava, Utah Tech University | PCHS 2025

Amy Nava (PCHS 2025) earned six scholarships, graduated with five cords (and an honors cord!), and still says she wishes she had accomplished more academically.

There's plenty of time for this Utah Tech freshman to accomplish anything she puts her mind to. For now, Amy is determined to illuminate what lies below the surface, in both her radiology studies...and life.

Read Amy's Bright Futures story and support our first-gen students during Live PC Give PC on November 7th!

Bright Futures changes lives by supporting motivated first-generation students as they work to get to and through post-secondary education. The PCEF Bright Futures program walks alongside these first-gen students as they make their post-high school graduation dreams a reality. 

Nationwide, just 24% of first-gen college students make it to the graduation finish line. Bright Futures goal is to change those odds for Park City students. We can only do it with your support!

 🧡 Live PC Give PC is November 7th! 💚

Live PC Give PC is the day our entire community rallies to support nonprofits during 24 Hours of Giving, hosted by the Park City Community Foundation.

Check out all the PTO and PCHS Live PC Give PC clubs, sports, activities and projects, including Bright Futures! Lots more to come!

🔮 Red Apple Gala: Magical & Meaningful ✨

Former PCHS graduate Kristina Schiffman is realizing her dreams, and our youngest learners are just starting theirs.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Red Apple Gala – your support makes stories like Kristina's possible!

"PCEF allowed me to do 'all the things.'''

-Kristina Schiffman, 2020 PCHS Graduate


From the classroom to launching her own business, Kristina credits her teachers and PCEF donors for encouraging her to think bigger and providing access and opportunity to the best programs and real-world experiences along the way.

Hearing from our youngest learners as they begin their educational journey is just as inspiring. One day, they’ll have their own story to share, just like Kristina’s, thanks to the sky’s-the-limit possibilities throughout Park City schools. 

YOUR support and the joyful generosity on full display at the Gala ensures funding for critical PCEF programs inspiring all students to reach their academic and lifelong potential and we are so grateful.

Save the Date for next year's gala - November 14th, 2026! The Red Apple Gala is generously hosted by Montage Deer Valley and presented by Zions Bank.

Congratulations to Red Apple Gala Opportunity Drawing winner, Mitch Solomon! He won a weekend at Montage Big Sky, MT!
