Campership Fund Drive

On By westroxburyfriendsofrosiesplaceIn Donate

This is the time of year when we think about positive summer opportunities for youngsters. The isolation of the past few years has been particularly hard on children. As a result, from March 15th-April 12th, we focus our fundraising efforts on providing camp opportunities for children living in stressful situations so that they get a chance to just be kids! 

These include:

  • Shared camp experiences for siblings separated by foster care
  • Special camp experiences for children coping with a family member’s substance abuse disorder
  • Support for children whose families can’t afford day/overnight camp tuition

Spring brings new hope. Your Spring donation will offer hope to our neighbors in need. Please make a donation during our Campership Fundraiser, March 15th – April 12th.  

Thank you for all you do to make our community, our city, our world a better place,

WRFORP has landed! Our 2022 “Shoot for the Moon” Campaign was a success

On By westroxburyfriendsofrosiesplaceIn Donate, Event

With our “Shoot for the Moon” Campaign last year, we set a challenging goal to raise $40,000 to support local organizations that serve food insecure individuals and families, and programs that provide opportunities for children to participate in activities that bolster their wellbeing.

Together we met that challenge!

Thank you for your assistance throughout 2022 and for an especially generous December. Thanks, too, to our benevolent corporate sponsors:
Brookline Bank
Enbridge, Inc.
Roche Bros.
Rockland Trust
Wegmans Food Markets


West Roxbury Friends of Rosie’s Place (WRFORP) board members wish all our friends a very happy and healthy New Year, and we thank you for your warmhearted support in 2022.

Wishing you a 2023 filled with love and hope!
