Stepinac High School’s Drama Club to Host Unique Mattress Fundraiser for Regional Premiere Production of "Hunchback"

Stepinac High School’s acclaimed Drama Club will take traditional fundraising to the “mats” by hosting a unique fundraiser for its upcoming regional premiere production of the musical, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.”

“The Mattress Fundraiser,” which will be held from 10 AM to 5 PM, Saturday, March 18 in the school’s cafeteria, is the most unique fundraising concept to come along the pike that has quickly gained popularity across the country. Established in 2005, Custom Fundraising Solutions— creator of “The Mattress Fundraiser”— has given back over $22 million to schools across the country.

Owner and founder of “The Mattress Fundraiser”, Joe Matejka, says the key to making the fundraisers so successful is the kids: “The 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…to help the kids!”

Stepinac’s cafeteria will be transformed into a 20+ bed showroom filled with all sizes and styles. Name brands like Simmons Beautyrest will be available for up to 50% off retail prices! Watch for area yard signs and for the few lucky kids who get to wear the “mattress suit” while promoting the sale to passersby.
