If you’ve lived in the Lyons Township High School district, you have probably experienced the annual Gold Card Blitz for the Boosters. Fundraising is usually a part of participating in a sport or extra-curricular activity. The LTHS Boosters use a plan where all the participants in the fall sports go out and sell the Gold Card at a specific time. This is a great system for both the parents of the athletes and the community.
This year the sale will take place Saturday, Aug. 20 from noon to 2 p.m. During this time the student athletes will all be out in force selling the cards throughout our neighborhoods. The cards are the size and shape of a regular credit card and are good for deals throughout the year. This year’s card will be good for use through Aug. 17, 2012.
Here’s a sneak peak at the deals available on the 2011-2012 card:

The card sells for $10, with $5 returned to the selling team or club. It’s a great deal and makes a good gift as well. If you’re not going to be home during the sale, there’s bound to be a student athlete on your block that will be selling them. In the past my son went to neighbors in advance to secure their sale. So on Sat. between noon and 2 p.m. The streets of our area will be filled with teens out supporting their teams. Hopefully you will support the teams and the local businesses offering deals on the Gold Card.
