CHS Baseball & Softball Mattress Fundraiser Tomorrow

The Charlestown High School Softball and Baseball teams are looking to make this their best fundraiser of the year. All money raised during the fundraiser will go toward the Indoor Hitting Facility. As a group, their goal is to raise between $5,000 and $10,000. CHS Baseball and Softball teams will hold their BoosterBeds fundraiser on December 5th, 2015 from 10 am to 5 pm and December 6th from 1 pm to 6 pm in the high school cafeteria at 1 Pirate Place, Charlestown, IN 47111. During those times members of the community and its surrounding areas are encouraged to drop in, lay down, and walk out with big smiles knowing they’ve just ordered the world’s best mattress for their sleep needs. It doesn’t end there! BoosterBeds also offers varieties of sheets, pillows, protective covering, and much more to satisfy even the lightest or heaviest of sleepers. Orders for bedding can be placed online and picked up at the school. BoosterBeds is a Carolina born group offering a new and unique way for schools to raise money to help student programs. Due to new law restrictions that cut down on unhealthy fundraising foods, BoosterBeds has found a way to help schools create new revenue streams. The BoosterBeds fundraising program is comprised of the retail and online sale of high quality bedding and locally produced Serta mattresses. The mattress sale fundraiser displays over 21 high quality mattress models by Serta. “For Serta, I see a tremendous long term value that comes from creating early brand loyalty. Not only with our 14 to 18 year old demographic, but the student’s parents, won’t soon forget that the Serta Sheep helped them raise money for their cause,” says Robert Wilson, a BoosterBeds team member. Wilson said BoosterBeds is very different from typical fundraisers for a variety of reasons. Students, faculty, staff and other members of the group do not raise the funds or handle money; there are no out-of-pocket expenses; BoosterBeds handles all event planning including set-up and break down; mattresses are discounted up to 60 percent below retail pricing; all of the mattresses sold during the fundraising event can be delivered to the school or can be delivered directly to the buyer for a nominal delivery fee. BoosterBeds produces the marketing materials, while students (with the help of their family members) promote the fundraiser through social marketing. Wilson acknowledges that “Because of our social media platform our fundraiser is trending aggressively through viral promotion” “With schools promoting a healthier lifestyle, the focus has shifted to fundraising without calories,” Wilson said. “BoosterBeds is a fundraiser that promotes one of the key elements of a healthier lifestyle. Sleep.” About BoosterBeds BoosterBeds serves regional organizations and institutions in need of unique fundraising opportunities. Organizations may include but are not limited to: schools, student organizations, bands, athletic associations, and other community associations.
