Annual Donor Report
ANNUAL DONOR REPORT
Dear Alumni and Friends,
Advertisement
The COVID-19 pandemic affected virtually every aspect of public life in 2020. Certainly the impact at Foxcroft Academy was immediate and severe, as our school quickly pivoted to a remote instruction model and experienced disruptions in all other phases of institutional operations.
The worldwide economic fallout from the steps taken to respond to such a public health crisis resulted in high unemployment, lost wages, and declining investment values, all factors creating a climate that was not conducive to the fundraising efforts that are so important for independent schools like FA. Given this economic challenge, Foxcroft’s Board of Trustees decided to temporarily suspend most fundraising operations until conditions improved. Highlights That the 2019-20 Foxcroft Fund still raised $84,300 last year 2019-20 Foxcroft Fund despite such difficult times is indicative of the deep reservoir of Legacy Circle alumni and community support the school may draw upon. Those donations helped to purchase
Memorial and Honor items such as library books, athletic equipment, art supplies and musical instruments, as well as Gifts continuing our investments in technology.
Giving By Class A highlight of the fundraising year was Giving Tuesday, a worldwide day of philanthropy, which
Golf Scramble Results raised $20,516 from 89 donors in 2019. This year’s Giving Tuesday is December 1, and the theme will
Building on Tradition be Giving Tuesday: Honor Our Teachers. We hope to increase alumni participation this year, and a Capital Campaign gift of any size will be much appreciated. Our annual Homecoming Golf Scramble raised nearly $9,000, even though Alumni Weekend was a pandemic casualty. We thank all of FA’s loyal sponsors of our annual golf scramble for their support in assisting us with COVID-19 expenses.
Foxcroft is gearing up now to resume our Building on Tradition capital campaign to finance construction of a multi-use field house, with groundbreaking set for May, 2021. We have raised 90 percent of our $5.5 million goal, and after taking a short break because of the pandemic, all systems are go to reach our goal in the new year. Please review the impressive list on page 26 of those who have already given to this initiative.
Lastly, I invite all members of the Pony Herd to consider joining me and my wife, Leslie (nee Hall) ’70 as members of the Legacy Circle by leaving a bequest to Foxcroft Academy in your will, or by using another planned giving vehicle. In making our estate planning decisions, we both felt that FA is a major force in keeping our community strong. The school has earned our support this year, and in all the years to come. Perhaps you could consider leaving your own legacy to the Academy someday.
Tom Lizotte, Advancement Committee Chair "I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks." ~ William Shakespeare
Foxcroft Academy Cornerstone Society
Our Foxcroft Academy Cornerstone Society honors donors who are the very cornerstone of what makes Foxcroft Academy such a great educational institution. It includes members of our Founder’s Society and our Legacy Circle, (see story on page 19) as well as a dedicated group of donors who believe so strongly in our mission, who have for ten years consecutively given a gift in support of the Foxcroft Fund. Each year during Alumni Weekend, Mr. Shorey hosts a reception at his house to honor our Cornerstone Society. In our 2019-20 fiscal year, we were happy to welcome eight new members to our Cornerstone Society.

Dover True Value, in partnership with the True Value Foundation, provided free health and safety kits to Foxcroft Academy through the newly created Educational Heroes Safety Campaign.
To ensure the health and safety of students, teachers, administrators, and staff at their local school, Dover True Value donating kits comprised of hand sanitizer, KN-95 masks, and hand soap.
At the beginning of the pandemic, True Value Manufacturing retooled its EasyCare paint production facility in Cary, Illinois, to produce FDA-approved hand sanitizer and other essential cleaning products to meet unprecedented nationwide consumer demand for health and cleaning essentials. In August, the True Value Foundation decided to go even further to address the growing public need for these products as school reopened by launching the Educational Heroes Safety campaign. This collaborative effort between the company and independent retailers aims to keep America’s kids learning while keeping our frontline educational heroes safe.
Thank you to Tim Robinson ’78, owner of Dover True Value, for his donation and support of our students and staff during this COVID-19 pandemic.

There are many ways to ensure the future of the mission of Foxcroft Academy. As we approach our Bicentennial in 2023, we celebrate nearly 200 years of stewardship and generosity, dating back to the early days when Foxcroft Academy was trying to attain its charter. If not for the forethought and insight of those philanthropists, Foxcroft Academy may have never come to be in existence. We encourage you to consider joining the Academy’s Legacy Circle, benefactors who wish to support our school through their estate directives that often benefit them as well. Help us to continue fulfilling our mission for generations to come!

Beverly Eldridge Anderson, Class of 1948 8/25/29 - 1/22/20
After a valiant battle with Alzheimer’s, Bev Eldridge Anderson passed away at the age of 90. Married on December 12, 1948, to John “Jack” Anderson Jr. they raised their three children John (Trey), David (Hawk) ’69, and Candy ’71 in Dover-Foxcroft and were active members of the Dover-Foxcroft Congregational Church. Bev deeply loved her family, church family, and Foxcroft Academy. She could often be found cheering on Trey and David at football games, and Candy’s cheerleading events. Then she did the same for all her grandchildren: Darcie ’95, Deri-Ann ’97, Dan ’03, David ’07, sitting in the first row of the bleachers and sometimes harassing the refs!
Gifts were given in Bev’s memory to the memorial scholarship fund named for her son Trey who died tragically in 1968, the summer before his senior year. Each year this scholarship is awarded to the top male athlete in helping them to further their education.

Each year members of Hope’s family hold a horseshoe tournament in her honor. They also send in yearly donations to the Hope Fund. Here are this year’s family members who donated.

Foxcroft Academy Salutes your Generosity
Thank you to all of these donors who have made a generous contribution to our Building on Tradition capital campaign to add a field house and indoor track to the campus of Foxcroft Academy.

With more than 90% of our fundraising goal now secure, please join us to help get the field house project across the finish line!
Groundbreaking activities are expected to begin in May, 2021, and the facility will be open and available for use starting in the fall of 2022.
We’re fortunate to have such a strong community of trustees, faculty and staff, alumni, parents and friends who have given in support of this project. Visit our website to make a gift: www.foxcroftacademy.org
