IPSF Giving Day is October 20th – Wear Orange

/in , /by

Why Do We Wear Orange?  We wear orange to raise awareness for the incredible people – mental health professionals, instructional assistants, school nurses, and athletic trainers – and after school and summer enrichment programs such as ACE and Tournament of Champions, that make a difference in students’ lives every day, thanks to the generosity of parents and supporters like you. If 200 families make a donation on October 20th towards IPSF, the Irvine Korean Parent Association will donate $10,000! Meet that challenge here!
