Pasco School District is #1 Again in Gesa Affinity Card Giving

Thanks to the incredible support of our community, Pasco School District once again earned the highest amount of any participating school district through Gesa Credit Union’s Affinity Debit Card Program! 

During the 2025–2026 school year, the program generated $73,328 for Pasco students, bringing the total raised since our partnership with Gesa began to more than $500,000! 

Every time a community member uses a Pasco School District Gesa Affinity Debit Card, they help create meaningful opportunities for our students. Funds generated through the program directly support Career & Technical Education (CTE) experiences, helping students: 

• Participate in DECA, FCCLA, FFA, SkillsUSA, and other career-connected student organizations 

• Attend leadership conferences and competitions 

• Participate in industry tours and job shadows 

• Explore career pathways and connect with local employers 

• Earn industry-recognized certifications, including OSHA 10, Forklift Certification, CPR/First Aid, Food Worker Cards, STARS Child Care, Paraeducator Certification, and more 

By helping remove financial barriers, these funds give more students access to valuable credentials, hands-on experiences, leadership opportunities, and career-ready skills that prepare them for success after graduation. 

A huge thank you to Gesa Credit Union for its continued investment in our students and to every community member who chooses a Pasco School District Affinity Debit Card. Your everyday purchases are making a lasting difference for students and helping prepare the next generation of skilled professionals and community leaders.
