Corporate Sponsorships / Donations

The Pike Township Educational Foundation has developed important partnerships with several local corporations including Diverse Staffing, Fanning Howey, and Herff Jones, Inc. These companies recognize the importance of the Foundation’s work and have generously made long term financial commitments to our cause. Other companies have been generous donors to specific programs and events, including APEX Benefits, Central Security and Communications, Fanning Howey, Common Ground West, and Diverse Staffing, among many others.

Your company can help the PTEF by donating goods or services, by sponsoring one of our events, by making one-time donations, or by making a long-term commitment to support the PTEF.

MSD Pike Township Employee Payroll Deduction

Hundreds of employees of the Pike Township school district choose to generously contribute a portion of their paychecks each pay period to support Pike Township Educational Foundation programs that benefit Pike students. The Employee Payroll Deduction Program allows employees to have a monthly donation automatically deducted from their paycheck. Even a small amount per employee per pay period makes a big difference by enabling us to greatly increase the amount of grant and scholarship funds we have available for distribution to Pike teachers and students. Help raise your school’s participation percentage by signing up today! Contributions are tax deductible.

Donate Items and Services

By donating items and services, you can help support our fund-raising efforts. Your items and services may be auctioned at the Treasures for Education auction or given away as prizes for one of our other events.
