One Day Mattress Fundraiser

Mark your calendars! Our One Day Mattress Fundraiser is coming up on

****SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH****

🗓️ Event Date: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2025

📍Location: JONATHAN ALDER HIGH SCHOOL

⏰ Time: 10AM - 4PM

We simply cannot reach our goal without your participation, so even if YOU don't need a new mattress, we need to spread the word and find those people who DO need a new bed and would much rather support a great cause in the process.

Payment Options Available!

If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your mattress but prefer to spread the cost out over time, this is the perfect solution. Take advantage of our flexible monthly payment options so you can get what you need now and pay over time—no need to wait! Find the mattress of your dreams at a cost that won't keep you up at night.

Scholarship Information:

The Jonathan Alder Music Boosters gives 6 $500 scholarships to seniors every year. We give 3 to choir students and 3 to band students. Every Senior who has been in band or choir for two years, including their Senior year, is eligible to apply for a scholarship.

The scholarship committee collects the applications and essays. The essays are then given to individuals who are not in our community and not connected in any way to Jonathan Alder. They go through several readings before being selected as the scholarship winners. Scholarships are awarded at the end of every year. For more information, please reach out!

CLICK HERE TO DONATE TODAY

Donations to support the Music Boosters' efforts are accepted at any time. All donations go directly to our performing arts students at Jonathan Alder Schools for equipment, supplies, scholarships, and more!

Thank you for your support!
