The Promotional Products Education Foundation was founded by industry leaders as a way to give back to the promotional products community. PPEF provides college scholarships and special needs scholarships to the promotional products industry. These programs are funded through the generous contributions of companies and individuals within the industry. When you contribute to PPEF, you are helping build a stronger, more powerful industry while at the same time assisting with the development and growth of a deserving individual.
Attention industry employers:
Did you know that all of your employees and their children are eligible for college scholarships through the Promotional Products Education Foundation? You can provide this free employee benefit to all of your employees. What a great way to build employee loyalty to the promotional products industry and your company. Please help us spread the word to all of your employees who are attending college or who have college-aged children. To receive posters to hang in your break areas, please contact Sara Besly at SaraB@ppai.org.

In honor of Earth Day, PPEF is challenging the industry to go green for education. The Foundation's Donate Your Lunch Money Day on April 22 - Earth Day - asks you to trade restaurants and drive thrus for homemade sandwiches and open spaces and contribute your dine-out savings to PPEF's scholarship programs.
$5, $10, $20 - whatever your lunch budget allows - your green will not only help send kids to college, but will honor Mother Nature when you picnic with a purpose.
