Need an end of the year tax write-off?

Support PIL Student Athletes today and in the future by donating to the
PIL HOF "PAYING IT FORWARD PROGRAM"
You can help for as little as $5/month.

Where do these donations go?

The two programs below will be the primary beneficiaries:

  • College Access - is a program that the PIL fundraises annually to assist students from PIL to find post high school sport opportunities. Priority is given to students of color or underprivileged youth who attend Franklin, Jefferson, McDaniel and Roosevelt. Students receive a range of services: self-marketing, college visitations, coach relationships and consultation, college application and financial aid, transportation to school and cost associated with registration and housing.
  • Participation fees for PIL Youth Sport Program - PILYSP provide 5000 Middle School students with access to middle school sports. The purpose of the program is to increase the quality of girls' basketball, reduce migration to private schools, develop feeder programs to PIL high schools, and to install academic standards so they are prepared for high school athletics. The contribution will pay the participation fees for students who otherwise could not afford to participate. The cost is $200 per student or $65 for free and reduced lunch.

We will continue to use funds generated by the annual Mel Krause Memorial Golf Tournament to provide financial support and resources to PIL athletics at the request of PIL Athletic Director Marshall Haskins and his staff. This includes, but is not limited to helping offset participation fees, college access support, youth sport program, funding athletic trainers, providing athletic equipment and supplies, and helping with facilities upgrades and maintenance. These funds will also be used, if needed, to offset cost of the annual PIL HOF Induction Banquet.

Supporters have several levels of annual giving or “virtual brick” options:

  • Platinum at $25/month or $500 one-time
  • Gold at $20/month
  • Silver at $10/month
  • Bronze at $5/month
  • Also, a one-time gift in any amount to honor a special person in your life is available.

Additionally, we offer Planned Giving options. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the residue of your estate to the PIL HOF and still provide for your loved ones. Some examples include Bequests in your Will or Living Trust, Beneficiary Designation, Charitable Trusts, Retirement Plan Gifts, Life Insurance, Charitable Gift Annuities, or Stocks & Other Securities. Please consider speaking to your tax advisor and/or lawyer to determine which Planned Giving strategy is best for you.

Please see giving options, the updated wall and donors at our Paying it Forward Wall

THE FIRST 25-30 PEOPLE TO DONATE TO THE PROGRAM WILL RECEIVE A PIL HOF GOLF HAT OR WORKOUT SHIRT WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. SO PLEASE HELP WITH A ONE-TIME DONATION OR A MONTHLY DONATION FOR AS LITTLE AS $5/month!

The PIL Presents
The Pacific Office Automation Holiday Classic
You’re Invited!

Join us in supporting over 1,200 high school female athletes this winter at the Pacific Office Automation Holiday Classic, a three-day basketball tournament! Learn more about this tournament at PortlandHolidayClassic.com

My name is Heather, and I represent the Portland Interscholastic League (PIL) which is the Athletic Department of Portland Public Schools. I’m excited to invite you to be part of this incredible event taking place during winter break on December 27th, 28th, and 30th. This tournament is proudly sponsored by Pacific Office Automation and presented by BSN and Nike.

Our goal is to create an elite experience for female student-athletes, coaches, and fans. As the tournament has expanded over the past six years, we have recognized the need for additional funding and donations to ensure we keep costs minimal while providing the best possible experience for our young athletes.

We have maintained entry prices well below the average of other premier tournaments. To enhance the experience, we employ game workers to assist teams, fans, and officials, and we provide hospitality rooms with catered lunches and dinners for coaches, officials, school administrators, sponsors, and game workers.

I am reaching out to you to present an opportunity to support our youth and make this event exceptional for our athletes and stakeholders.
Please consider contributing in one or more of the following ways:

    • Monetary Donations: Connect with us to become a sponsor, or to make a donation of any amount. Please specify your contribution in the memo line.
    • In-Kind Donations: We welcome goodies such as water, snacks, and giveaways for our athletes during the tournament.
    • Hospitality Room Donations: We provide lunch (appx 50-60) and dinner (appx 60-70 attendees) at our venues: Franklin, Grant, McDaniel, and Lincoln over the three day tournament.

Please contact me at [email protected] or 971-978-7278 to schedule your contributions.

Thank you for considering this opportunity. I look forward to discussing how you can become a sponsor, partner, or donor for the PIL!
