About Us

Music keeps our family together. From our earliest days, our parents Ted and Marielle Fong exposed us to musical theatre, jazz, pop, classical, and church music. We have a lot of instruments laying around the house. So it was easy to sit around, jam, and eventually create the College Fund Street Band sound.

Here's what each of us is doing:

  • Maxwell (26) graduated from Poly San Luis Obispo, studying business. He is a Senior Project Manager for software developer BuildFire in San Diego. Maxwell married his high school sweetheart Alicia Madriago in May 2021. She is an architect.

  • Nina (23) is on the “6-year plan” and will continue her studies at San Jose State University in Spring 2022 in Environmental Science

  • Mario (20) is a Senior at San Diego State University studying Economics

  • Leland (17) will be a Freshman at Stanford University this Fall studying Mechanical Engineering

  • Jennifer (14) will be a 10th grader at Franklin High School in Elk Grove, CA

Thank you for your generous support!
