The Newtown High School Marching Band & Guard is partnering with Custom Fundraising Solutions (CFS) to hold its second annual Mattress Fundraiser this Saturday, June 3, from 10 am to 5 pm, in the high school cafeteria, 12 Berkshire Road. Every purchase from the sale will benefit the Marching Band & Guard.

According to Michele Buzzi, president of the NHS Band Parents Corporation, the fundraiser will work just like a mattress store, with professional salespeople to help customers find the right mattress. More than 20 mattress sets will be available to try before buying. Customers will order, schedule delivery, and once delivered CFS can take the old mattress away. CFS is a national company and it can ship almost anywhere in the country.

"The reason CFS is able to offer such low prices is because the Band & Guard does all of the promotion, so no ad costs are involved, and holding the sale at the school cafeteria means no store front costs are passed on to customers," Ms Buzzi said.

All sizes of mattresses will be available in name brands such as Serta and Simmons Beautyrest. Types of sets available are firm, pillow-top, orthopedic and latex, and gel memory foam. All mattresses are brand-new with full factory warranties.

Adjustable beds, luxury pillows, and mattress protectors will also be available.

All school and town employees and their families will get $100 off any set over $500 and $50 off any set under $500.
