Lauren & Danielle have been lucky enough to be best friends for 20 years, sharing a childhood full of love, laughter, and opportunities. They are deeply grateful to be able to support Friends of Blackstone (FoBS) & help create the same sense of hope and possibility for children who need it most.

FoBS is a nonprofit organization supporting Blackstone Elementary School, the largest elementary school in Boston. FoBS works closely with the school's AMAZING teachers and administrators to identify real needs and fund programs that make a difference.

About Blackstone Elementary School:

Serves almost 650 students from nearly every neighborhood in Boston
Children speak over 8 languages and represent diverse cultural backgrounds
Many of these children come from low-income families and may face challenges such as housing instability, learning English, or having disabilities

Every dollar raised goes directly toward helping these vibrant and resilient children learn, grow, and thrive! Your donation will support:

Curriculum & community enrichment (supporting literacy programs, providing pancake breakfast for students on state testing days, etc.)
Teacher’s professional development
Field trips (otherwise unattainable within current budget constraints)
The purchase of basic school supplies & needed technology upgrades
& more!
