Igniting potential: the Oxford Family After-School Program Fund at Hope Street

Richard, Betty and Sid Oxford at the 2016 Spirit of Philanthropy Awards ceremony For nearly three decades, Sid Oxford has been a beacon of support at Hope Street Margolis Family Center’s After-School Program, dedicating himself to mentoring vulnerable youth since 1996. Inspired by his parents' unwavering belief in community and the power of positive role models, Sid recently established the Oxford Family After-School Program Fund with a $50,000 gift. This remarkable commitment honors a multi-generational family legacy of philanthropy, ensuring Hope Street's vital programs continue to provide academic support, engaging activities and the "secret sauce" of strong relationships that empower children to succeed for years to come.
