Fox PTA Art Auction in Hardywood
March 18, 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., tickets and item previews
A chance to drink beer, get some art, and help out a local school.
William Fox Elementary School has been a beloved Richmond Fan neighborhood landmark for 111 years. The school building was tragically destroyed in a catastrophic fire that took with it supplies and resources that had been accumulated through the hard work of the Fox community over decades. This event will raise funds for the PTA that will allow us to directly support our teachers and students as we navigate through this difficult transition and the years to come. PTA’s mission is to realize the potential of every child by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. Thank you for supporting our efforts to continue our mission, even and especially during this difficult time.
