FOL is the dads who show up. Grilling for teachers, building the Haunted House, running the crosswalk, funding scholarships and staff appreciation. None of it happens without dads chipping in.A recurring monthly gift, starting at just $10, makes you an official FOL member. It's what unlocks league signups, and it's the easiest way to back everything FOL does for Lakewood Elementary all year long.
