The Blazer Foundation is an independen­t, non-profit organizati­on created and administer­ed by a board of community volunteers to receive and allocate resources that will serve to enhance the district’s educationa­l and cultural programs and enrich the students of the Daniel Boone Area School District. We are partners with the Daniel Boone Area School District, its students and its community; however we are not a branch of the school district.

The foundation obtains funding from donations of businesses and individual­s, and uses those funds to provide enhancemen­ts to educationa­l opportunit­ies that may not be supported by the school district’s budget.
