Step Up to the Plate for Troy Schools

Help support the Troy School District (TSD), and 13 great restaurants in the process, by participating in the first “Step Up to the Plate for Troy Schools” promotion, sponsored by i9 Sports.

A partnership between Troy Chamber member restaurants and the Troy School District, “Step Up to the Plate” is slated for Sunday, February 26 – Thursday, March 1. Participating Troy restaurants will offer diners 20% off their food purchases if they bring in a “Step Up to the Plate” promotional piece (i.e. school flyer, newspaper ad, email or other communication about the program).

Diners may then turn in their receipts to the TSD school of their choice. On Thursday, March 8, schools will report their total number of receipts. The one receiving the most receipts will win a $1,000 cash prize! It’s that simple.

The 13 participating restaurants include:

• Bailey’s Sports Grille, 1965 W. Maple Rd., bet. Coolidge & Crooks Rd.
• Brooklyn Pizza, 3141 Crooks Rd., north of Big Beaver Rd., on west side

Spring leagues include T-Ball, Flag Football, Cheerleading, Soccer and Basketball. They keep score, as learning how to win and lose the right way is very important, but they do so in a fun way where each child’s experience is the #1 factor. All players receive sportsmanship medals, personalized trophies, and a pizza party. To redeem this offer, call 248-632-6166 & mention Step Up.
