National organization, Custom Fundraising Solutions, creator of \u201cThe Mattress Fundraiser,\u201d has given back over $18 million dollars to schools across the country. On Saturday, October 1, <\/span>Coatesville High School is taking traditional fundraising to the \u201cmats\u201d by hosting their own Mattress Fundraiser to raise money for their football program.<\/p>\n Owner and founder of the \u201cMattress Fundraiser,\u201d Joe Matejka says the key to making the fundraisers so successful is the kids: \u201cThe concept is unusual but one that absolutely works. One in ten people buy a new mattress every single year. We offer the community a quality product they need, at a great price and the best part is that every sale benefits the school. Our one-day sale can help a group raise thousands of dollars! That is why we are in this business\u2026to help the kids!<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n Coatesville HS will be hosting their 2nd annual Mattress Fundraiser on October 1, from 10am \u2013 5pm. The 11\/12 Building Gym will transform into a 20+ bed showroom filled with all sizes and styles. Name brands like<\/p>\n Simmons, Beautyrest are available for up to 50% off retail prices!<\/p>\n Watch for area yard signs and for the few lucky kids who get to wear the \u201cmattress suit\u201d while promoting the sale to passersby.<\/p>\n \n
