It’s PIEF Fundraising Time!

The Printing Industry Scholarship Funds were established in 1981, with a donation by Grace Vance to create an endowment in memory of her late husband, R. Reid Vance, who served the industry for 55 years.  The foundation expanded in 1999, to become the Printing Industries Education, Inc.  (PIEF).

There have been major changes made to the Association’s PIEF program this year, including opportunities for scholarship students to become even more involved in our industry.  Changes include offering additional funds for students who participate in at least two association events and students who participate in social media activities (Facebook, Twitter, blogs).  $500 will be awarded to each individual student who pursues these opportunities.

If you would like to support of PIEF’s primary goal — to develop industry employees of the future through financial and educational support — consider making a contribution to the educational fund. Each year we are amazed and gratified with your response.  To make your donation, click here or contact the Association at info@pianko.org for more information.
