ANNUAL APPEAL
Help us meet our goal! DONATE TODAY!
On Thursday, November 6, Duxbury students will be reaching out to members of the community as part of the Duxbury Education Foundation’s annual Answer the Call fundraising event. This special evening has become a meaningful DEF tradition, giving students the chance to experience firsthand the generosity of our community and the impact it has on Duxbury Public Schools.

Our goal is to raise $15,000 with this year’s Annual Appeal, and with your support, we know we can get there. Every donation, large or small, makes a meaningful difference. All funds raised go directly to this year’s grants and help make future programs possible.
DEF welcomes donations from individuals and businesses, and gifts may be made in honor or memory of someone special.
Donations may be made:

Honoring the Legacy of Mr. Howard Hall, DEF’s Founding President
The Duxbury Education Foundation (DEF) remembers with deep gratitude our founding President, Mr. Howard Hall. More than 35 years ago, his vision and leadership helped create the community organization, originally called The Duxbury Foundation, dedicated to enriching Duxbury’s public schools through innovation, collaboration, and a shared belief in the power of education.
Mr. Hall’s legacy continues to shape the work of DEF today. The programs, technology, and opportunities we bring to Duxbury students are a direct reflection of his original goal of making great ideas possible in every classroom. Please read more about Mr. Hall's legacy HERE.
In keeping with his lifelong commitment to education, the Hall family kindly requested that donations in his memory be directed to the Duxbury Education Foundation instead of flowers. We are deeply honored by this gesture and grateful to all who have contributed in his name. These gifts will help ensure that Mr. Hall’s spirit of learning and community lives on for generations to come.
