From humble beginnings, Foxboro Founders Day has grown into a wonderful
celebration of civic pride and a chance for the community to come
together for a day of fun, food and fellowship sandwiched between the
pageantry of a parade and an awesome display of fireworks.
Each Founders Day, we select a new theme for our parade and other
activities. The theme for 2010, our 20th Founders Day, is
"Volunteerism," celebrating the legion of volunteers who make such a
difference in our town every day, often behind the scenes.
Founders Day 2010 is dedicated to the memory of
Carl Kush, who created Founders Day and is well remembered as the
epitome of a volunteer and someone who loved his community.
Foxboro-based organizations and businesses are encouraged to build upon
this theme as they prepare their entries for the parade. Many will carry
the theme over to their field activities.
Every civic and religious organization in town is encouraged to
participate in the field festivities and raise funds for their various
organizations by selling food, running games and raffles or selling
novelties and other products.
Local businesses and individuals are encouraged to support the
festivities with cash donations to cover the cost of the parade and
fireworks as well as the field activities.
Together, the people and businesses of Foxboro will show the rest of the
world why we call Foxboro Home Sweet Home!
