Introducing the Presidents Fund Match
Community support has never been more important. By giving during Centre Gives May 14-15, you’re enhancing education today AND investing in the future of our students and our community. Now, a fund established by past presidents of the Education Foundation to mark its 10-year anniversary, will extend the impact of your generosity.
There’s never been a better time to make a difference for students: The SCASD Education Foundation is celebrating 10 years of impact, and to kick it off, during this 36-hour celebration of community generosity, your donation to SCASD Education Foundation will do even more thanks to a 25% match from our generous Presidents Fund—a dedicated group of past SCASD Education Foundation presidents who believe deeply in our mission and the power of our donors.
In this milestone year, we are grateful to our past foundation presidents for leading by example and offering this special incentive, which will kick off with Centre Gives, so that you can maximize your impact. For example, for every $100 you give, they’ll contribute an additional $25—extending the difference you’re making for students now and for years to come.
Help us rise to the challenge and unlock every matching dollar. Make your Centre Gives gift May 14-15 and join us in shaping the future through our students.

Presidents Fund contributors and past Education Foundation presidents share their passion for supporting students:
“I joined the SCASD Foundation board as a founding member a decade ago. As a parent with 2 kids in the district, I was so impressed with the schools but recognized that many students and teachers had needs that couldn’t be supported with district resources alone. Developing a foundation to support grants to teachers, opportunities for students, and support for mental health services and other unmet student needs was a way for me to give back to a district that was doing so much for my kids. It’s been rewarding to develop and grow the foundation.”
– Michelle Frisco
“State College Area School District is one of the bulwarks of this community I love. It will remain among the great honors of my life to have helped start and lead the Foundation that supports the teachers and students of Happy Valley.”
– Chris Buchignani
“As a lifelong resident, alum, and 40+ year employee of SCASD, I was thrilled to serve as a SCASD Foundation Board member after I retired. It became a perfect way for me to give back to the school district that provided my husband, my children, and me with an excellent education and a career that I loved! With the generosity of our community, funds are raised to provide enrichment activities and services to students across all grade levels.”
-Mary Kay Montovino
“I am proud to have been a founding member of the SCASD Education Foundation and have continued to serve on the board because we can contribute our donors’ funds directly to the district quickly and efficiently to enrich the learning opportunities for students in every school.”
– Doug Loviscky
