Save the Date: Friends of Cambridge Athletics Meeting – Tues Oct 11, 6pm – 7.30pm, Zoom
Do you have or know a student athlete? Do you want to support athletes at CRLS? Do you want to meet other caregivers and help build community across the teams and within Cambridge? If so, Zoom in and learn about the Friends of Cambridge Athletics (FOCA) on Tuesday October 11, 6pm – 7.30pm (Zoom details below).
FOCA is a volunteer, parent-led non-profit organization supporting CRLS athletic teams and clubs, through collaboration with the Athletic Director, coaches, PE andHealth staff and other school and city leaders.
FOCA is looking to reengage the Community so that we can support the sports teams more actively, now that the schools have opened up to the Community again. We are looking for interested individuals to help reshape FOCA’s mission, goals and activities. If you have ideas and opinions about ways to support the sports teams, or specific skills that you would like to put to good use (e.g. web-building skills, event management, fundraising, knowledge of businesses in the community), please join us to learn more!
