Fundraising
Each year, the John G. Diefenbaker Music Parents Association (JGDMPA) raises money to help support the music programs here at Diefenbaker High School. These funds are used for student scholarships, concert programs, music awards evening, recordings and uniform upgrades.
Parents and students are encouraged to participate in the fundraising opportunities that are offered by JGDMPA to offset their own costs for the music program (camps, festivals, etc). Something new this year is that there is no mandatory $40 expected from every family, however fundraising and donations are encouraged from each student to achieve that same amount. The fundraising will be a ‘80/20’ split, meaning 80% raised will go into Student Credits and 20% will go towards JGDMPA. If needed to keep up with our financial responsibilities, JGDMPA will inform everyone if there is a fundraiser that is 100% for the Association.
