Fremont Education Foundation’s (FEF) recent fundraiser—inspired by the green and pink color palette from the movie musical Wicked—raised $40,000 for educator grants! These funds will directly benefit Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) schools, providing educators with tools and resources. Donors, sponsors, guests and volunteers all helped make the event happen.
After a performance from Bay Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, FEF honored the 2025 awardees Cyndy Mozzetti (community honoree) and FUSD counselors (FUSD honorees).
They also received special certificates and commendations from Senator Aisha Wahab, Assemblymember Alex Lee, Alameda County Supervisors David Haubert and Elisa Márquez—and a memorable plaque presented by the Fremont Education Foundation.
Prominent community leaders attended, including: Alameda County Office of Education Superintendent, Alysse Castro; former Fremont Mayor, Bill Harrison;
FUSD trustee, Larry Sweene; Fremont Mayor, Raj Salwan and community leader, Lara Calvert.
