More than 2,000 families, volunteers, sponsors and guests attended Palisades Charter Elementary School’s annual Yee Haw Day on Saturday, October 18, raising $171,000 through sponsorships, ticket tales and a silent auction.
These funds will help underwrite the cost of producing the festival and support Palisades Enrichment Programs, which funds “essential programs,” including “class-size reduction, instructional aides, PE, music, drama and technology.” PEP organizes the fundraising event each year, this time taking place at Pali Elementary’s temporary shared campus following the Palisades fire: Brentwood Elementary Science Magnet.
The main stage included an “incredible lineup” of local bands, as well as special guest performances by X Ambassadors and headliners Fitz and the Tantrums.
“Yee Haw Day has always been a joyful community tradition, but this year it carried even deeper meaning,” Event Chair Cali Tendle said. “After everything our community has faced, it was powerful to see so many people come together to celebrate, support and give back.”
