Partners in Patriotism Fund Helps Foxborough Field Hockey Celebrate Championship

FOXBOROUGH, MA — The Division 2 South Section champion-Foxborough High School field hockey team has some new championship swag thanks to a donation from the Partners in Patriotism fund.

The team's booster club recently received a donation of $4,400 to help the program commemorate and celebrate its historic 2016 season, Partners in Patriotism announced.

The funds will be used to purchase championship jackets for varsity and sweatshirts for JV; reversible practice pinnies; the team’s South Sectional Title banner that will hang in the school’s gymnasium and all-weather gear for the coaches.
