Fundraising

The state of California ranks as one of the lowest in the nation in per student spending. Every year, the Thornhill PFC will spend an average of $1,000 per child to provide programs that are not covered by state or federal funding. 

Thanks to the teamwork of an excellent Thornhill staff, our incredible students, and our dedicated and generous parents, Thornhill is one of the top-performing schools in Oakland. Support us in continuing to provide our children with an excellent, well-rounded education.

There are many ways to support our fundraising efforts throughout the year. Everyone's help is needed and wanted, and our fundraising events are a great way to get to know other families at the school, either through organizing, hosting, volunteering, or simply dining out or shopping online! 

• Shop & Earn (year-round)
• Host a Party (year-round)
• Back to School Donation Drive (Fall)
• Walkathon (Fall)
• Benefit Auction (Winter/Spring) 
• Readathon (Spring) 
• Spring Carnival (Spring) 

We look forward to your participation!
