Transform how your school raises funds—forever.

This week on Lancaster Connects, discover Gardner's Mattress & More's groundbreaking Sleep Better Mattress Fundraiser Program, the first initiative of its kind in Lancaster County. Instead of traditional Popcorn, Hoagie or Coupon sales that often disappoint, this innovative partnership offers schools an immediate $750 grant to launch their programs, plus ongoing revenue through personalized School Codes that return up to 10% of every mattress purchase directly to participating schools.

We'll explore how this customized, branded partnership works: schools receive professional promotional materials and their unique code, transforming every Gardner's customer into a potential supporter of local education. From athletics to arts programs, discover how this sustainable funding model is already making a difference for Lancaster County schools—and how your community can get involved.

Whether you're a parent, educator, school board member, or simply someone who believes in supporting local education, this episode reveals a smarter way to fund the programs that matter most to our kids. Join us as we celebrate an initiative that proves the best innovations happen when local businesses and schools work together.
