The Juntos Por La Educación (Together for Education) fundraising campaign continues to break records, thanks to the generous contributions of PriceSmart Members and Price Philanthropies Foundation. In the campaign that took place from October 11 through December 24, 2024, PriceSmart Members donated an astonishing more than $2.5 million, which will be matched with an additional $905,000 from Price Philanthropies. These contributions will directly support the Aprender y Crecer program, helping to provide students with the essential tools they need to succeed in school.

“For me the Aprender y Crecer program is what allows us at PriceSmart to help plant the seed of knowledge in the communities where we are present, and to whom we will always be thankful,” commented Alexa Bodden, Vice President of Club Member Services for PriceSmart.

In 2025, the Aprender y Crecer program will support approximately 152,000 students at nearly 300 public schools in the region. The program, which provides school supplies, cleaning supplies, books, and teaching resources, has been an integral part of PriceSmart’s commitment to education since the program’s inception in 2006.

“This marks our 18th year partnering with Price Philanthropies on the annual Aprender y Crecer 'Juntos Por Educación' fundraising campaign. This initiative reflects PriceSmart’s ongoing commitment to the communities where we operate, emphasizing the importance of supporting youth and education through Aprender y Crecer,” remarked Christopher Souhrada, PriceSmart’s Executive Vice President of Club Operations.  “We are grateful to the dedicated PriceSmart team and our generous PriceSmart Members whose contributions have made this campaign a success.”

The Juntos Por La Educación campaign will return in October at PriceSmart clubs and online through PriceSmart.com.
