Mattress Sale
Why are we doing the Mattress Fundraiser? We are doing the Mattress Fundraiser because it is one of the easiest fundraisers to run and we can raise over $10,000 in just 6 hours.
Date: November 19th, 2023
Location: Howard High School Cafeteria
What is a Mattress Fundraiser? Imagine a Mattress Firm store is magically transported into the cafeteria. Everything you could find in a retail mattress store will be available on this one day event on November 19th, from 10am-5pm and EVERY SALE helps the Howard Music Program. There will be over 25 name brand beds to test out as well as adjustable bases, pillows, blankets, mattress protectors, and other accessories. The staff not only helps ensure that each customer is provided with expert advice on which mattress fits with each person, they also handle set up before the event as well as clean up after the event, manage all sales transactions, coordinate product pick and delivery, and all customer service. All you have to do is talk about the fundraiser in the weeks leading up to the sale!
Why does the Mattress Fundraiser work? 1 out of every 4 households buys a mattress each year. That is 25% of your neighbors, coworkers, and community. You know many people who have a mattress in their home which they need to replace. We are the excuse to replace it. You get a great deal on a mattress and help out the music program while doing so! Why are the prices so low? The fundraising company has no overhead or advertising which means lower prices (20-50% off retail) and more money for the music program! We have roughly 400 students in the music department so if we all promote this event and a majority of families find just 1 person to come to the sale, we will get a check for between $15,000-$20,000!
What do I need to do?
Is there anything else I should know? Yes, not only does the school raise funds for every mattress purchase, but students also receive money in their music account for every referred mattress sale!
This is probably the easiest fundraiser we will run this year but we need 100% participation. If you need a mattress, come to the sale and get a great mattress at a great price. However, if you don’t need a mattress, just talk about the upcoming sale and find someone else in the community who does need a bed and tell them to come to the event. Let’s get that $10,000 check!

What do I need to do?
- Talk about the event - You will meet more than 5 people over the next couple of weeks who will buy a mattress this year. If they don’t know about the event, they won’t come. Talk about this at work, school, church, and in your neighborhood. Don’t feel awkward about discussing this fundraiser, people only come if they need a mattress! You are doing them a favor as they will get a great deal!
- Text and email friends and family - Make sure all your friends and family know about the event. Take a picture of the flyer and send it on!
- Put up yellow yard signs if your community allows them - Students can contact the faculty in the music department for yard signs.
