Fernando DeAndrade, Jr. Memorial Fund
The DeAndrade family has pledged to help FOLIO with proceeds raised from
fundraisers held by the family in honor of their son’s memory. The funds
are earmarked for the Children’s Section in a new library building. Their
hope is to raise money to furnish a Children’s craft room and story time
area for all of the kids of Oxford to enjoy.
The DeAndrades have already donated over $3000 to the Fernando DeAndrade,
Jr. Memorial Fund from proceeds that were raised from their ‘Spy Night’
fundraiser held last November at the Colonial Tavern. The Friends are
extremely grateful for their generous support for such a worthwhile
cause.
Mom, Christina, has been busy gathering donors for an upcoming Spring
Raffle to raise funds for the Fernando Fund & Fernando’s Fund for Spinal
Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Some prizes include a handyman’s service for a
day valued at $800 & a laptop computer. Please stay tuned for more
information about the upcoming raffle. If you wish to donate a prize or
participate in the raffle preparation, please contact Christina at
cmdeandrade@yahoo.com.
If you would like to make a donation to the Fernando DeAndrade, Jr.
Memorial Fund, please send checks made payable to FOL Fernando DeAndrade
Memorial Fund and mail to: FOLIO, c/o Oxford Library, 486 Oxford Rd.,
