The FM Education Foundation has coordinated its fourth annual Dining Week, which begins Monday, Feb. 3, and is encouraging community members to get together and eat for education.
Participating restaurants will donate a percentage of patrons’ bills to the foundation, which is a non-profit organization whose mission is to enhance the academic experience of Fayetteville-Manlius School District students by partnering with the community and educators to create innovative opportunities that are beyond the district’s curriculum and resources, according to the foundation’s website.
The foundation operates independently from the school district and has its own separate board and budget.
The foundation has awarded more than $33,000 to F-M educators since it reorganized in 2016 and is supported through community donations. Dining Week is one of the ways the foundation raises money to support its grant programs.
There are 11 local restaurants participating in the 2020 Dining Week. Restaurants requiring a printed copy of the dining week flyer, which can be printed from the foundation website, are noted with an asterisk.
