the Fordham Prep Mothers' Club
The Fordham Prep Mothers' Club can trace its roots back to 1966 when Margaret McDermott saw the need to organize mothers to:
"Help Fordham Prep to promote and advance the best interests of Fordham Prep in its religious, educational and charitable functions, to promote friendship, sociability and good will among its members and to foster better understanding and mutual cooperation among teachers, students and parents."
fashion show & FPMC honoraria
Save the date for the 29th annual Spring Dinner and Fashion Show - Bridge to the Bronx - to be held on Thursday evening, April 22, 2010 at Marina del Rey in Throgs Neck, NY. Please consider donating to ensure the success of this event, Fordham Prep's major fundraiser.
At the dinner, one student in each class is awarded an honorarium of $500. These students, selected by the Principal, are outstanding members of the Prep; they balance academics along with social and religious life. They are a very special credit to the school and the Mothers' Club.
During the year, Fordham Prep Mothers' Club makes donations to the Prep. During the 2008/2009 school year the Mothers’ Club was able to donate more than $70,000 to the school. We were able to do this because of your help!
Find more information and forms on the Fashion Show page, or download journal advertisement and donation forms here.
