Whittier Tech Sports Boosters Kick Off Their Boston Masspass Fundraiser

The Whittier Tech Sports Boosters will kick off their 2010 -2011 season with sales of Boston Masspass coupon books from September 13th to September27th.  Whittier Athletes will be using this fund raiser to help pay for their sports banquets and letter jackets as well as any other unfunded needs that come up this school year.

 

“We are asking our 300 athletes to sell 5 books at a cost of $20 each over a two week period.” Said Booster president, Paul Buccos.

 

The athletes will keep 50% of the proceeds as well receiving prizes for individual and team sales totals to be awarded by the MassPass organization. This years coupon book has added 100 North shore businesses with $2,400 in savings, and also has South shore coupons with much more in savings opportunities.

  

Please support us when asked by the athletes if you can.
