Fundraising for the Fremd Music Program falls into one of 3 categories:

FMA Student Accounts

The FMA provides fundraising opportunities for students who wish to offset the cost of optional music department-sponsored trips and other FMA-approved activities (per FMA Standing Rules). All proceeds earned by the students are deposited into their FMA student account, and students may add to their account the entire time they are enrolled at Fremd.

Currently planned for 2021-22:

Cookie Dough and Lou Malnati’s Coupon Sale

Kick-Off: Wednesday, August 25, 2021

Orders Due: Wednesday, September 8, 2021

Delivery to Students: Wednesday, September 29, 2021

Ask any student – it is the BEST cookie dough in town – stock your freezers with a treat!
