About the Friends of the Foxborough Regional Charter School Foundation

The goal of the Friends of Foxborough Regional Charter School Foundation is to support the school and its teachers in their efforts to provide an outstanding education to the school’s 1,200 students. The funds raised at this year’s tournament will go towards the recruitment and retention of high quality staff members. The school’s personnel committee is working on a comprehensive plan to help attract and maintain the most dynamic employees to ensure the greatest impact on student achievement and to ensure that the school continues to close the achievement gap among subgroups.

Fulfilling this mission is no easy task. It requires an extensive commitment of time, energy and financial resources that far surpass the funding we receive from the state. We depend on a mix of fundraising activities to support teachers and programs. Organization’s goal is to raise $25,000. Sponsors and donors are listed in the event program, in weekly parent newsletters, posted on Facebook and website.
