Dear PBE Families, Friends, & Community,
This year Pacific Beach Elementary School celebrates 72 years on Tourmaline Street! It’s been 96
years since PBE opened its doors to our community’s children. It is with great pleasure that we
announce Pacific Beach Elementary School’s 2022 fundraiser: Gettin’ Yachty with PBE The Online
Auction will run from April 17-24, 2023. The Live and Silent Auctions will take place at the Gettin’
Yachty Gala on Friday, May 12, 2023 from 6:00-11:00 pm at Marina Village.
The Gettin’ Yachty with PBE is our biggest fundraiser and directly impacts all students at Pacific
Beach Elementary School. In years past, community support has enabled our parent-teacher
organization, Friends of Pacific Beach Elementary (FOPBE), to provide valuable, non-district funded
programs, including:
★ San Diego Youth Science classes
★ Dig Down Deep Garden classes
★ RMC Music classes TK-3
★ Arts Attack - art enrichment curriculum
★ Whole Child playground facilitators
★ Missoula Children’s Theatre
★ Halloween Carnival
★ Penguin Pride
★ Family Movie Night
★ Jogging Club
★ PBE Friendship Garden
★ Science Night
★ Family Math Night
★ Web-based literacy programs
★ Discretionary funds for all teachers
★ Field trip buses
★ Library books & classroom subscriptions
★ Playground equipment...and more!
A successful auction is essential to FOPBE’s annual fundraising budget and, ultimately, our school.
You can partner with FOPBE by making a donation of a gift certificate, merchandise, or services to be
included in the auction. Another way to offer support is by sponsorship of the event at large or
underwriting of a specific event expense. All contributions are due to school no later than 4.12.23
As we ask for your support, we pledge to shine light on and promote your business. Your donation
will be highlighted on our heavily visited auction website. Certain financial contributions will also be
recognized with a banner on the corner of Turquoise and Fanuel, at the Gettin’ Yachty Gala, and in
the weekly FOPBE emails. Please accept our gratitude and thanks in advance for your support and
sponsorship.
