Charlestown Football is selling mulch to meet their program needs for equipment, player packs, and nutrition. A portion of the fundraiser will also be used to help pay for the newly renovated weight room which benefits all students and athletes at CHS. Bags range in price from $5.00 to $5.50 depending on color. One bag =is 2 cubic feet. 13.5 bags is 1 yard. Please help them reach their goals by making a purchase!
The mulch fundraiser is a plus for you since football players will deliver your mulch to your house and place it wherever you’d like. This will help keep your cars clean and your muscles from aching. Be sure to put specific instructions if you would like the mulch bags placed in a specific area. It can be as simple as: “Place the mulch bags in piles of 5 by the garage door.” Or it can be as specific as: “Place 3 bags by the tree in the front by the mailbox, put 5 bags in the mulch bed in front of the house, etc.” Please also give a good phone number to call in case there is questions about delivery. All information is for the order and fundraiser only and will not be shared.
