Football Fundraiser
The new Sacramento Professional Football Team called the Mountain Lions coached by former NFL coach Dennis Green and featuring former NFL quarterback Dante Culpepper and former Sac State star and 49er Otis Amey want to sell us 100 tickets for half price. The tickets would be sold for $20 and we would pay the team $10. That's an easy $1000 for the house if we can find 100 people who will attend the game. Please contact anyone you can who enjoys football and try and sell them a ticket. As soon as I have 100 people who want tickets I will purchase the tickets and deliver them to you or to the KFHouse to be picked up. Read more...
