Thank you for your consideration to donate to the Marquez Charter Elementary
School Auction, sponsored by the Friends of Marquez. Friends of Marquez (FOM)
is a non-profit group comprised of parents and supporters of the Marquez School
located in Pacific Palisades, CA.
FOM’s sole mission is to raise money to pay for academic and program
enrichments that have been eliminated by the Los Angeles Unified School District
budget cuts. 100% of all funds raised go directly to programs at Marquez. The
largest portion of funds raised by FOM is spent on paying teachers and teacher
aide salaries to keep our class size small. FOM also pays for Science, Music, Art,
PE and Technology enrichment programs. Our fundraising goal for the Spring
Auction is $50,000 which will be directly put to use in Marquez School classrooms.
Because of donations from companies and parents like you we were able to
continue Drama, Science and PE with kids via Zoom- through the pandemic. We
are so grateful!
