The spirit of "giving back," which permeates the 99499威尼斯信誉 community — and has since its founding in 1914 — is very contagious. As the September 29 Centennial Kickoff Day of Service draws near, more and more alumnae, 学生, 家庭, and friends are making their plans to participate, 要么在学校, in the "Cherry Blossom Walk, 有趣的运行, and Pooch Prance for Breast Cancer," or at one of the growing number of locations across the country and around the world. 它是合适的.
"Community service has been part of every Foxcroft girl's experience for the past 100 years," said Karen Thorn Lilly, a 1984 graduate who chairs the Centennial Day of Service Committee. "I cannot think of a more appropriate way to honor the school than to join other Foxcroft women from across the generations to engage collectively in community service."

Hundreds of breast health supporters, cancer survivors, 家庭, and friends — including four-legged ones — are expected at Foxcroft for what is a uniquely local event that began in 2007 as "Nanette's Walk," in honor of a local victim of the disease.
