Fifth Quarter Celebration Fundraiser

5th Quarter EDUCATION "Fun"draiser

Each fall, the Fruitport Education Foundation holds its 5th Quarter Education "FUN"draiser which benefits the students of Fruitport Community Schools. The "Fun"draiser is an annual event with proceeds directed back to our students and classrooms. This year's event took place on November 8, 2019 at the Trillium Event Center. This event would not be possible without the strong support of the Trojan Nation - staff, parents, alumni, community members, local businesses, vendors and supporters of FCS. Thank you all!
