Sports Briefs - The Deming Headlight

Football boosters host mattress sale

The Deming Wildcat Football Boosters will host their first-ever mattress sale fundraiser from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday, May 5, at the Deming High School lobby.

Area teams have had tremendous success with this mattress fundraiser the past two years, with some programs raising over $8,000, and we are very excited to be able to host this event at Deming High.

Brand new, name brand (Restonic and Southerland) mattress sets will be offered at prices 30%-60% off retail. These are top quality mattress sets with full nationwide manufacturer warranties. Much higher quality for the price than at a retail store.

All sizes are available, mattress set prices range from $219 to $2,299.

Local pick up or White Glove delivery is available. Payment is accepted in cash, check, Visa, M/C, Discover or 90-day layaway plan.

Twenty-four different mattress models will be on display.

If you, or anyone you know is in the market for a new mattress make sure you remember the date to check out this fundraiser. Proceeds go directly to the team.

If you need a new mattress before this sale and want to HELP OUR KIDS or have any mattress specific questions, please contact Steve Mills of T/NM Custom Fundraising at steve-mills@att.net.

ALL sales benefit the Deming Wildcat football team.
