How To Help

Donate

• Items or services - we raffle the donated items at the dinner dance to support our scholarship fund.
• Money - donations are used to fund projects and scholarships.
• Time - we can always use a hand - one time at an event or on going as a member of the FAME board.

Participate

• Support - attend the school concerts and support the student musicians and their teachers. Everybody loves an audience!
• Advocate for music education - Westford is very fortunate to have wonderful music program. While FAME is not an advocacy group, we encourage parents to let the Superintendent and School Committee know you feel about music education in Westford Public Schools.
• Buy tickets and come to the fund raising events! - November 9 is the FAME fall fund raiser - the Music Café. Local professional musicians donate their time and talent to support music education. A club type atmosphere with great live music. In the spring, the 15th annual F.A.M.E dinner dance is a showcase for student musicians from Westford Academy. Featuring the WA Jazz Band, the dinner dance is not only our premiere fundraiser but a great opportunity for WA students to perform in an intimate atmosphere.

Serve

• Event help - we need help with setup, serving and cleanup at both the café and the dinner dance.
• Newsletter - we are looking for help writing and editing our bi-yearly newsletter.
• Board member - if you could commit just 3 hours a month, we could use your help. Board members provide organizational direction and input into spending decisions.
• Officer - if you can commit just 6 hours a month, why not serve as an officer? Three of this year's officers will be retiring - we need help!!
• Scholarship committees - once a year, the scholarship committees review applications and award scholarship to outgoing seniors as well as summer program scholarships.
