With the school year and high school football season soon coming into full swing, three local high school football programs are once again undertaking some of the area’s more popular fundraisers in support of their programs. 

Each of Neelin, Crocus Plains and Vincent Massey are currently in the process of selling to the general public their annual discount cards that create a win-win for supporters, who for their $20 investment in a school’s card receive a year’s worth of discounts at a host of local businesses that for many folks will pay for the cost of the card many times over. 

The cards have been the subject of a good amount of chatter in the discussion forums where folks may have already learned about some of the offers. For the sake of simplicity, below are details on each card including the offers on each and how to get your hands on one should you not cross paths with students on each team that are selling (note that Massey and Crocus offers are the same). Read toward the end for details on how you can enter to win a collection of all three!

To support the cause and give readers a chance to win, I’ve bought two cards from each school to run in two separate contests. 

The first chance, which starts right now, is to visit the entry form at https://ebrandon.ca/contest_enter.aspx and enter your name for random draw. Amongst all entries received by Wednesday, September 4 at 5pm one name will be drawn to receive a collection of three cards… one from each school. 

Watch for a second chance to win another set of cards on eBrandon’s Facebook page later this long weekend.

For more, please keep an eye on the ongoing eBrandon discussion on the cards at https://ebrandon.ca/messagethread.aspx?message_id=1039745&cat_id=24
