Annual Fall Golf Classic

Every year, the Foundation hosts it's Annual Fall Golf Classic. This golf tournament provides an opportunity for past, present and future supporters of the Pasco Education Foundation to mingle and play a friendly round of golf.

The 6th Annual Fall Golf Classic was held on Friday, October 14, 2005 at Plantation Palms Golf Club in Land O' Lakes. This event helped us to fund the programs of the Foundation including, but not limited to, classroom grants to improve student performance and scholarships for employees and students.

License for Learning Vehicle Tag

The License for Learning is a special automobile tag that provides a private source of funding to directly help Florida school districts increase support of and enhance public education.

When Florida residents purchase or renew their License for Learning plate, $20 is donated to the county's local Education Foundation.

This past year the Pasco Education Foundation received over $24,000 in donations from the sale of these specialty tags and 100% of those donations were directly invested into classrooms throughout Pasco County in the form of Creative Teaching Grants.

Pasco County currently ranks 9th in the State of Florida in terms of specialty tag sales.
