2021 Fannie May Candy Sale - DGN Friends of Fine Arts

The DGN Friends of Fine Arts are pleased to announce the 2021 Fannie May Candy Fundraiser, designed to generate funds to support our student musicians, thespians and visual artists!

As the weather cools and the leaves begin to turn, we know the holidays are just around the corner. We are excited to continue a holiday tradition that is over 100 years old: delicious Fannie May chocolates! 

The Fannie May Candy sales program is an important fundraising revenue stream for DGN Friends of Fine Arts (along with Spirit Wear sales and the Spring Plant Sale) and it is a vital component in reaching our annual goal of $50,000 to support our Fine Arts students and programs. If every Fine Arts student at DGN sold or purchased one box of Pixies, more than $4,000 would be earned toward that targeted number!

Our sale officially kicks off this week, and runs through Wednesday, October 27th. Candy will be available for drive-through pick up at DGN on Saturday, November 20th. Additional details regarding the pick-up are coming soon.

The Fannie May 2021 Holiday Catalog may be viewed online. 

PLEASE CLICK HERE for the online order form.

Questions regarding the sale may be directed to Chairperson Ms. Kathy Nelson, at tknel@att.net, or 630-269-9708.

Thank you for your continued support of the Fine Arts at Downers Grove North High School!
