PARK CITY, Utah — The Park City Education Foundation (PCEF) has asked for $180 per child as a part of its Beat the Call fundraiser, because it’s just $1 per school day.

Beat the Call will run from September 18-30. Give before September 30 and:

PCEF won’t call you during its Phone-a-Thon.
Help your school win money from the UPS Stores Park City.
Boost students’ chance to win a party for their class for Elementary School, Middle School and Junior High, and, for High School families – donate for a chance to win VIP parking spot and six VIP seats at graduation (eligible for Senior families only).

A minimum $20 donation is required to be eligible for prizes.
