The Bluffton University football team is raising funds for the program by selling cards offering discounts at local businesses.
The cards, which cost $10 apiece, are valid until April 13, 2012, and cover nearly two dozen businesses where discounts are available. Most of them are restaurants either in Bluffton-including Burger King, East of Chicago Pizza, Common Grounds and Arby's-or in Findlay.
For more information, contact any football player or Chris Gable, athletics department secretary, at 419-358-3227.
