Q: Does the Annual Fund pay for everything FOW provides?A: No. The Annual Fund is our largest fundraising effort, but it funds only a portion of FOW&rsquo;s overall annual budget.

And we need more than just your donation - we need you voice! &nbsp;Share why you give, spread the word to other Wilbur families, and help us remind our community that the extras our kids love and benefit from depend on all of us.
