Who We Are, What We Do

Annually, the foundation raises funds through special events, and charitable donations made by individuals, groups and foundations.  These funds are distributed to support programs and projects that align with our mission: to strengthen the educational, cultural, wellness, and athletic programs of the Mechanicsburg Area School District.
