Both local and regional businesses and organizations are an important part of PAACE’s mission to Promote a Drug Free, Violence Free Community and we appreciate donations of money, materials and equipment to enhance our programming!
Our summer programs are funded in part by The Town of Parker, David Plunkett Realty, The Parker Rotary Club and the Industrial Development Authority of La Paz County.
Joe Salcido and Selena Lugo from Wells Fargo Bank in Parker presented a $2,500 check to PAACE in October, 2015.
In October 2015 Parker Walmart Manager Jason Kellett presented a donation of $2,500 to PAACE from the Walmart Foundation.
In the summer of 2013, PAACE utilized funding from Pacific Gas & Electric, Colorado River Sewage System-Joint Venture and Suddenlink Communications to create a new Video Gaming Center at the Players 9th Street Youth Center in Parker. The upgraded gaming center included three flat screen televsions, three XBOX 360 video gaming consoles, a new built-in gaming cabinet, new video games, and a fresh paint job on the walls. The new Video Gaming Center is a popular addition to the youth center and we appreciate the businesses that helped make it happen. Cenpatico recently funded a new floor and a new Air Hockey table through a Community Reinvestment contribution!
The Parker Walmart store donated another $2500 to PAACE in 2014!
