The WJCC Schools Foundation is kicking off its 10th anniversary with an event to raise funds and awareness for all the organization does to support educators in the school system.
The foundation, launched in 2015 by the Williamsburg-James City County School Board, is a nonprofit organization that collaborates with local businesses and community members to provide resources that enrich teaching, inspire learning and maximize opportunities to help WJCC Schools educate its students.
After the COVID-19 pandemic impacted fundraising efforts, the foundation’s board is hoping the inaugural event — “An Evening on the Lawn” — on Oct. 9 will help ramp up community support for public schools.
“There was a lot of excitement when the foundation first began and growth has been steady ever since,” sai
