Gala Sponsorship Opportunities

Friends of Choice in Urban Schools (FOCUS) is now the DC Charter School Alliance!

Please visit www.dccharters.org to learn about our new organization and to see the latest news and information related to DC charter schools.

The FOCUS DC website is online to see historic information, but is not actively updated.
Cheers to 21 Years!

The 2017 FOCUS gala will be preceded by an exclusive pre-gala VIP symposium, "Proof Point City: How Healthy Competition Has Benefited All Public School Students in DC,” where education leaders will discuss the evolution of public schools in DC over the past 21 years and highlight lessons learned that can be implemented across the country.

Moderated by  David Osborne, Progressive Policy Institute

Panelists:

Josephine Baker, former Executive Director, DC Public Charter School Board

Councilmember Vincent C. Gray, Ward 7

George Parker, former President, Washington Teachers Union

Scott Pearson, current Executive Director, DC Public Charter School Board

The gala is a wonderful opportunity for supporters of FOCUS to get to know better the leaders of our 65+ public charter schools. 

We invite you to sponsor the symposium and the gala and hope you can attend one or both events!

Sponsorships include access to the gala and the VIP symposium. All sponsorships will be recognized in the program.*
