W H Y W E G I V E T O P E F Longtime Palos Verdes residents Chris and Gill Moore have lived in Palos Verdes for 56 years. They raised two daughters, Kia (Conn) and Carrie (McKay), on the hill who attended Montemalaga Elementary School, Malaga Cove School and Palos Verdes High School. In addition, they have four grandchildren, two of them (Stephanie and Johnny), who grew up going to schools in the PVPUSD. With the support of alumni donors like Chris and Gill Moore, PEF is able to promote academic excellence, innovation and provide sustained financial support to PVPUSD. Chris Moore was a member of the PVPUSD Board of Education from 1973-1978 and a member of the PEF Board of Trustees from 1980-84. Deep-rooted in our community, Chris and Gill are loyal and committed supporters of public education. "My wife and I moved to Palos Verdes long ago because of the outstanding schools and community," said Chris. "We continue to give to PEF so that the current and future families can benefit from our excellent schools. Our top-rated schools are what makes Palos Verdes such a special place."

"There are so many questions that come up about the college application process, letters of recommendations and college visits. We are so glad that the CCC is available for students and parents. My husband and I prioritize giving to PEF because we can support such an important service." Back (l-r): Ethan Kim, Junah Kim, Zoe Kim, Bada Kim, Hunter Kim. Front: Avery Kim
