The 309 Challenge
Peoria Promise continues to feel the impact of Covid 19 and the loss of fundraising events. Though we tried, the impact of the Delta variant in our region again, put us in the difficult position of having to cancel “THE Event” scheduled for September 24, 2021. The funds raised during this annual gala are critical, generating up to $100,000 necessary for our tuition program. We need to fulfill this shortfall by December 31, 2021.
Currently there are over 300 students eligible for tuition at the end of the fall semester. Peoria Promise is the only program of its kind. Our program changes lives and is growing a more skilled workforce for the region. The future of Peoria Promise relies on the continued support of the community.
We ask that you accept the 309 challenge today, to ensure our student's success.
