Events - Music 2008 Telethon

 

The Fremont Education Foundation is proud to give a grant to the Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) each school year to fund the After-School Band Program for all interested 4th, 5th & 6th graders at no fee. These funds are raised each year during our annual Music Telethon.  No federal, state or district funds are used.

 

Our goal this year is to raise $75,000 to fund the 43 band classes in our 27 elementary schools, serving over 1,000 4th, 5th & 6th graders.  These are the only instrumental music classes offered in Fremont's elementary schools.  We are proud to have your community support for our kids.

This year our Telethon will be held from 7:00 ~ 9:00 p.m. on two evenings:

  • Tuesday, April 1
  • Thursday, April 3

Watch us on live television Fremont Comcast cable channel 26 or new this year! via live streaming right here on the Fremont Education Foundation web site.

Band Performances

  • Tuesday - Glenmoor Elementary
  • Thursday - Gomes Elementary Intermediate class

Telethon coverage in the local news:

The Telethon features the children in the After-School Band program as well as some of our graduates who play in our Junior High and High School bands, plus our band directors show off their talents. Local celebrities get in on the action raising funds and confessing their true love of music!

We have two phone bank locations:

  • Prudential California Realty in Warm Springs
  • Century 21 Oliver-Jackson at their new location on Mission Blvd at Las Palmas

Over 50 volunteers each night reach out to the community asking for pledges.  See maps to Phone Bank Locations

You can be a part of all of this by donating now. Please contact Lara York at  lmyork@comcast.net to be a volunteer, or to ask about sponsorship packages.
