Every dollar you give is matched by the Powell Match, doubling the impact of your gift! When Pacific received a transformational gift of $125 million from the estate of Robert and Jeannette Powell, a portion of their gift was designated for matching, dollar for dollar, new endowed gifts of $50,000 or more that provide scholarship or those that enhance the academic experience of our students.

The reach of the program has been made possible by the support of many, including community partners, governmental agencies and pharmacist preceptors. Our Medicare Part D outreach program only partners with governmental agencies at our events to keep an objective, unbiased environment and to ensure the trust of those we serve.
