2025 MILESTONE GIFTS

Thank you to the families of Culver City High School Seniors, as well as those celebrating a culmination of Kindergarten, 5th, or 8th grade, who made a donation to CCEF's 2025 Milestone Gift Campaign!

As a gesture of gratitude for the excellent education they have received, students and families are encouraged to make a donation of $20.25 (or more) to the Culver City Education Foundation. Making a gift is a meaningful way to celebrate this important milestone by paying tribute to your student’s CCUSD experience and ensuring that students continue to have incredible opportunities. All donations will be used to help sustain the exceptional educational experiences that make Culver City public schools so special.
