I credit Palmer Scholars for the support that early on motivated me to work in education, focusing on access to college and ensuring that students with potential can succeed in post-secondary pathways.

1. SPONSOR AN EVENT

Every year we host several events. Though each of our events serve a unique purpose, what is common is that there is a cost to put them on. Sponsors help ensure we can continue to host these events while maintaining services to our Scholars. Please consider serving as a sponsor for one of the following events:

​

Mid-Year Kickback (social event for Scholars, Mentors, and family) - December

Stand Up & Cheer (annual fundraiser attended by 500+ community members) - May

Graduation Celebration (the name says it all - attended by 200+ community members) - June

Summer BBQ (social event for Scholars, Mentors, and family) - August

Mentor Socials (social/enrichment events for current and prospective mentors) May/October

 SUPPORT OUR MISSION TODAY!

Palmer Scholars acknowledges that our work is carried out on, and our office space is located within, occupied Coast Salish land, specifically that of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous peoples. To acknowledge this land is to recognize its longer history and our place in that history; it is to recognize these lands and waters and their significance for the peoples who lived and continue to live in this region, whose practices and spiritualties were and are tied to the land and the water, and whose lives continue to enrich and develop in relationship to the land, waters, and other inhabitants today.

 

We also pause to recognize and acknowledge the labor upon which our country, state, and institutions are built.

We remember that our country is built on the labor of enslaved people who were kidnapped and brought to the U.S. from the African continent and recognize the continued contribution of their survivors. We also acknowledge all immigrant labor, including voluntary, involuntary, trafficked, forced, and undocumented peoples who contributed to the building of the country and continue to serve within our labor force. We acknowledge all unpaid care-giving labor.

 

To the people who contributed this immeasurable work and their descendants, we acknowledge our/their indelible mark on the spaces in which we operate today. It is our collective responsibility to critically interrogate these histories, to repair harm, and to honor, protect, and sustain this land.
