FUNDRAISING



SHOP FOR SCHOOLS

O'ahu high school athletic directors are asked to participate in this year's Kraft Shop and Score program with Times Supermarkets.

The program allows shoppers to accumulate points for participating schools by purchasing Kraft and other designated products at Times. Schools will then receive a share of a $100,000 credit, based on the percentage of total points accumulated through purchases, to buy adidas uniforms and equipment. All participating high schools are guaranteed a minimum $500 credit.

Last year, nearly 50 Oahu schools participated in the program, with Castle earning more than $17,000. Finishing behind Castle were 'Aiea, Waipahu, Kalani and McKinley.

The program runs from Sept. 10 to Oct. 28. Schools must register to participate by Aug. 11. To register, call 533-4165.
