The Friends of Cambridge Athletics (FOCA) began in 1998 when a group of parents and community members came together to develop a citywide effort to support the continued development and expansion of after-school sports programs as an integral part of Cambridge's Health, Physical Education, and Athletics program.
This is an all volunteer group of parents who work closely with and support the Department of Health, Physical Education and Athletics and coaches. FOCA's first annual meeting as an official non-profit organization (501 C3) was held on March 14, 2000.
