📢 E.S Killie Scholarship “Scores for Scholars”

What do these donations go towards? Each dollar raised from Scores for Scholars goes directly into the E.S. Killie Scholarship Fund. This scholarship is awarded to one deserving FBS senior each year.
If you would like to sign up to sponsor a game, please reach out to the Fessenden-Bowdon Education Association by emailing fbeapres@gmail.com.
