Two local businesses support NEF’s Chromebooks for Classrooms campaign
Northboro Chiropractic Care and Wheelhouse Wealth Advisors are two recent business donors to the NEF campaign, which continues through June.
The Northborough Education Foundation (NEF) recently received two donations in the amount of $2,500 each from Northboro Chiropractic Center and Wheelhouse Wealth Advisors. The donations were earmarked for NEF’s Chromebooks for Classrooms campaign, which was kicked off in April 2016.
The goal of the campaign is to provide the Northborough school district with additional devices to allow greater access by all students and classrooms. This will also ensure that Northborough meets the technology literacy standards set by the state of Massachusetts. The objective of the campaign is to fund the purchase of at least 200 Chromebooks by the end of the 2016-2017 school year.
NEF president Marile Borden was excited to see this type of support from local businesses.

“Our goal of $50,000 in 15 months is ambitious,” she said. “It is the largest initiative that we have taken on in the 8 years that I have been involved with the organization. We could not do it without these generous contributions.”
The two donations helped NEF surpass the half way mark of their goal with five months left in the campaign.
