I’ve worked with Fran for nearly decade on a series of special events and fundraisers that have collectively raised over $1.5 million to provide free after school programs in the Boston Public Schools. Fran is one of our longest-serving and most creative and engaged supporters. I’ve also relied on Fran’s unique and extensive personal networks at the intersections of philanthropy, sport & design to find critical resources for our non-profit organization. I’ve had great success recruiting and hiring graphic designers, web developers and other terrific contractors, staff and volunteers thanks to introductions Fran has taken the time to make for me.
