Plano ISD Education Foundation & SKI Plano

(Supporting Kids In Plano)

SKI Plano (Supporting Kids in Plano) will be held on Saturday, February 4th, 2023 (Tickets on sale late Dec./early Jan.)

The Plano ISD Education Foundation raises funds outside of traditional State & Federal funding to support PISD programs such as: AVID, Competitive Robotics, Fifth Grade Camp, Health Sciences Academy, Grants to Educators, CORE Store, and many more.

Without Education Foundation Funding, many of these student and district support programs would not exist.

As the Plano ISD Education Foundation’s largest fundraiser, the dollars raised at SKI Plano will help us continue to make a lasting impact on PISD students and educators throughout the entire district.

It is our hope that you will join us at the event, or contribute as an auction donor, sponsor, or volunteer. (Donation and sponsorship forms available soon.)

To donate, sponsor or volunteer, please contact Tiffany Daykin-Armijo tmdaykin@gmail.com
