Elementary schools in the Hutchinson school district are sponsoring a buy-one/get-one-free card program again in 2011.

The Education Funding Group Card Program is a quick and easy campaign that involves the selling of the Preferred Dining Card. It is a restaurant/entertainment discount card that sells for $10 and entitles the holder to 15 buy-one-get-one free deals at the following businesses: IHOP, Sonic, Papa John’s, Cool Beans, Fazoli’s, Wilder’s Bakery & Bistro, Jumpin’ J’s, Burger King, Playa Azul, Taco John’s, Cherry Berry, Quizno’s Sub, KFC, Carlos O’Kelly’s and Daylight Donuts.

The program kicked off Thursday and runs through Dec. 12. Proceeds from the campaign will benefit participating schools.
