| | | | | | | Annual Vernon Lacrosse Fundraiser | | | | posted 01/01/2012
Munson's Fundraiser
Vernon Lacrosse has an annual Munson's chocolate bar fundraiser to help contain costs. Every player in the league (Lightning, Bantam, JR. & SR.) is required to participate or choose the optional buy-out*.
Players are required to purchase 2 boxes of Munson's chocolates for $96. Players are then encouraged to sell their bars to help promote Vernon Lacrosse. You keep the money that you make from selling because you purchased the bars up-front. There is no final cost to families if they sell all their bars.
2 boxes x 24 bars = 48 bars
48 bars x $2.00 = $96
Players are encouraged to sell more than 2 boxes. Prizes will be awarded to the players that sell the most boxes as well as a random drawing for players that chose optional buy-out.
*Optional buy-out- Players can pay a $50 buyout fee in lieu of selling the Munson's chocolates.
The Munson's chocolate bars will be available for pick-up at the parent meeting on March 15.
