Organizers hope revenue will spring from mattress sales
The Kennett High School Football Program hopes to provide sweet dreams with this fund-raiser – for residents and its upcoming season.
Not content to tackle their finances lying down, the program is hosting its First Annual Mattress Sale Fundraiser on Sunday, in the high school gym from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Twenty different mattress sets will be on view, available in all sizes, including twin, full, queen, king, California-king and even special sizes. Just like in a mattress or furniture showroom, customers can lie on and try out every set.
Styles include plush sets, pillow-top sets, latex, memory foam, gel beds, and dual-feel beds. These are award-winning selections (Consumer’s Digest Best Buy, and “Women’s Choice” award). The brand-new, name-brand mattresses come with with full factory warranties, and all will be priced 30 to 60 percent below retail prices.
Bed frames and mattress protectors will also be for sale, and delivery is available. All forms of payment will be accepted, and profits will go directly to the High School Football Program.
“The Mattress Fundraiser” is a nationwide fund-raising program that has gained popularity across the country during the past eight years. Started in Cleveland, Ohio, it now has franchises in 45 cities. Dave Cox opened the Philadelphia franchise last summer and has raised over $50,000 so far for high school teams and bands all around the region. For more information, contact him at dc*****@***il.com
As an added bonus, patrons who mention “The Bottom of the Bookbag” will save $50 off the purchase of any mattress set over $300.
