Annual Fund Update
After tallying all of the generous contributions and incredible company matches, we are thrilled to share that over the month of September we raised $231,354 with 75% family participation!
We not only reached our $225,000 goal, we surpassed it. This total also reflects the recurring monthly pledges. We are so grateful to our Thornhill community. When we come together, with both small and large contributions, we ensure that every student benefits from the full Thornhill experience.
The Thornhill PFC’s overall mission is to bridge the gap between district and state funding. The success of the Annual Fund is a collective effort that helps to bring the vision and mission of our school to life. Learn more about the Annual Fund -->
