This event raises money for PCA s Variable Tuition program, which supports almost 50 percent of PCA families financially in their education choice.
Mike Runey, Head of School and co-host of Saturday’s auction, says, Many families want to come to PCA, but cannot due to finances. Our approach is to come alongside families who have demonstrated need with Variable Tuition. Our Annual Auction is the primary way we raise funds to remove the financial obstacles to a PCA education.
