So, we are into the second month of 2021 and the fast approach to the MLB Spring Training Season (has a huge impact on the PDC!) ;) The uncertainty about so much continues. We have been looking forward to 2021 with optimism that life can and will resume as we knew it before. Our hearts still go out to those dealing with health issues and those that have been effected, some profoundly, by COVID-19.
As I stated before, the PDC remained steadfast in our efforts to fund raise and support our West Valley youth. Despite a sizable financial setback in 2020, we were able to give out $23,000 in our April Grant cycle to 7 different organizations as well as another $20,000 for our October Grant distribution to 11 different organizations. Add to that, the $18,000 we just awarded to 6 different organizations in January, 2021. We had made good on our 42 youth scholarships to PUSD students in May, totaling another $10,600 and recently finished up dispersing over 225 toys from our Annual Volunteer Toy Drive to PUSD kids that might not otherwise have a toy for Christmas. Furthermore, the PDC had been involved in summer Community Giving during this health and financial crisis. We were able to present Valley View Food Bank with a $2500 check to help support the many families thrust into a difficult situation. We also partnered with the City of Peoria and some of our past restaurant sponsors in providing approximately 1200 Grab N Go meals to local neighborhoods that are food insufficient.
We are proud of the giving that came out of 2020- especially during this difficult time. We are not resting on our laurels though. We have created new sponsorship packages for businesses to take advantage of. They provide benefit in the digital and marketing world that can last all year long. We have implemented an Annual Giving Program and a Legacy Leadership Circle, better allowing individuals to donate to us and the long lasting efforts we will make. We are changing with the times, but keep our mission of helping our youth organizations at the forefront. We look forward to renewing sponsorships and gaining new to take us through 2021. And, we hope all of our friends out there will choose at least one of the many opportunities we have to help us help the kids.
Please support us on social media, and join our team by sponsoring, donating, volunteering, and/or serving on our Board. Thank you in advance! We appreciate your help!
