On May 6, over 500 members of the PEPS community came together for our annual Benefit Luncheon — and we’re still feeling the energy, inspiration, and generosity you brought to the room.
Together, we raised more than $150,000 to support parents and families — and thanks to our Giving Challenge donors, an additional $75,000 was matched!
But we’re not done yet...
We’re just $43,000 away from reaching our goal!
If you didn’t get a chance to give during the event — or if you’re feeling inspired to do a little more — there are three powerful ways you can help right now:
Your donation helps make PEPS Groups affordable and accessible to thousands of parents across our region.

Gifts of $300 to $1,499 were matched 1:1 and Sustainer Circle commitments ($1,500+/year for 3 years) were matched 2:1, up to a total of $75,000 thanks to generous friends of PEPS.
Donations allow PEPS to create inclusive community and authentic connection for parents in our area, expand our programs, work with our partner organizations to offer parent peer-support to under-resourced families, and advocate for parents and families in our region who are facing the most disparities.
