Giving To The Presidents Leadership Class

The Presidents Leadership Class relies on annual financial contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations who believe in the ability of the program to develop extraordinary young leaders who stand out in any crowd. Over 60% of PLC's $650,000 annual budget must be raised each year through a variety of fundraising efforts. There are many ways to invest in the program and the future of our students.
