Mendo Bucket Challenge
LAKEPORT — Mendo Mill in Lakeport is holding its annual High School Bucket Challenge, a fundraiser for the athletic programs at Clear Lake, Kelseyville and Upper Lake high schools, on Sept. 13-15.
Customers can purchase a 5-gallon bucket for $5 and designate which high school – Clear Lake, Kelseyville or Upper Lake – they want the money to go to. Mendo Mill will then match that $5 with another $5 for a total $10 donation.
That 5-gallon bucket is a great deal for customers as well as they will receive a 20-percent discount on items placed in the bucket and purchased at the store (some restrictions apply). A year ago the three high schools took home nearly $1,000 apiece through the fundraiser.
Other Mendo Mill stores are holding the same fundraiser for schools located in their area.
