Foxes recognized

“A big thank you to the @FCFoxesBaseball families for their heartfelt and generous gesture of donating this wonderful basket of gift cards and treats to Luca Bertucci as he fights cancer,” the Franklin Regional baseball team’s Twitter account posted. “The FR baseball family truly appreciates it.”
