Our Story
Our Foundation proudly consists of 17 dedicated board members and a volunteer branch known as "The Crew." Each year, we organize the Jingle Jam Market and the Denim and Diamonds Gala to raise essential funds.
The Foundation's current form was made possible by Todd Attalla's generous donation in memory of his wife, Carrie Attalla, a cherished Piedmont teacher. From the Carrie Attalla Memorial Fund and with continued community effort, we have grown a foundation that now provides over $30,000 annually in grants for teachers and schools.
Your support and involvement with the Piedmont Public Schools Education Foundation (PPSEF) enable us to increase the funds we provide to our schools each year and support additional initiatives such as student scholarships and school supplies. Together, we ensure that Piedmont remains one of the best places in the state to raise a family.
"The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one."
