  8. Examples of Great Practice • Burton: In years past, collaboration between Gear Up, PACT, and SFCAC have allowed Cash 4 College Night to also act as a General College Night for all other grade levels. All partied hosted a certain level of the night and worked together to offer a comprehensive “College” night! • Washington: merges with Gear Up, PACT, PTSA, and the Parent Liaison to offer a comprehensive Financial Aid night for all grades. AACE and PACT handle the senior component(the C4C) while Gear Up and the other parties worked with the underclassmen and their parents.
