Hello MAST Athletes and Families:
Attached is information on our newest MAST (individual) fundraiser selling $50 gift cards to Parosole restaurants (at a 10% discount of $45). This fundraiser will offer to athletes to help defray the costs of skiing with MAST. If you want to participate, you need to ACT VERY SOON!
I hope that many of you will participate in this great opportunity. The MAST Board and coaches work hard to keep our expenses as low as possible so that this sport is affordable for a larger pool of Mpls students than it would otherwise be. We try to find ways for families to raise money that will directly benefit their athlete. Take advantage of this fundraiser today.
Good luck.

MAST Fundraising Program – 2014/2015
Parasole Restaurant Gift Cards
Parasole gift cards are worth $50 at any Parasole restaurant and sell for $45/card (10% off). There are many restaurants in the Parasole family and they’re located all over the Twin Cities with several located in Southwest Minneapolis. Read below for restaurants with their unique descriptions.
You determine how much you want to sell. Here’s how it works:
You preorder cards that you commit to sell (email ebsavage@reganinv.com by the preorder dates below);
Erle will notify the Treasurer of your expected fee credit.
You sell the cards for $45 apiece. Checks are made out to MAST.
You return the checks/cash for cards sold to Erle at 5000 Abbott Ave S.
You get a credit for $20.00 for each card sold towards your team fee, season pass, or Giants Ridge fee.
You can sell as many as you desire, but you need to pre-order them because we buy them in bulk for our team. You are responsible for selling ALL of the cards you order, so be sure you can sell what you order.
Preorder by: Monday November 10
Pick up Cards: 11/17 - Hyland Season Pass/Picture Night @ Hyland
ALL $$ collected for sold cards must be returned before 12/15. Please email Erle at:ebsavage@reganinv.com to make arrangements to turn in your sales.
Here is a list of the restaurants that will honor the Parasole gift card.
Manny's Steakhouse
The classic NY steakhouse, Manny’s is rated top-five in America by the Zagat guide. This bastion of beef serves dry-aged steaks, dayboat-fresh seafood and the city’s best sides. A perennial Wine Spectator “Award of Excellence” winner, it is located in downtown Minneapolis at the Foshay.
Mozza Mia
A humble pizzeria delivering an experience worth bragging about, Mozza Mia Pizza Pie & Mozzarella Bar brings artisan preparation and a maniacal focus on quality to wood-fired pizza, homemade mozzarella, bruschetta, and a few well-chosen pastas, salads and desserts. Mozza Mia also features beer, wine, and a full bar.
Burger Jones
A burger bar located in Minneapolis and Burnsville, Burger Jones will feed your burger fix 7 days a week. Dine inside, at the bar or on the patio, or get your order to-go and have a picnic. Burger Jones offers a full menu, full bar, daily happy hours and late-night dining in a casual atmosphere.
Chino Latino
Experience street food from the Hot Zones in this stunning, sexy getaway to the Equator, serving small and large plates from the Caribbean to Mexico, on to Polynesia, Southeast Asia, China, Japan and India. Chino Latino also features Uptown’s most intriguing cocktails and one of the city’s premier group dining venues.
Salut Bar Américain
Everybody needs a neighborhood French joint, and Salut is just that: casual, comfortable, with a menu broad enough for Americans yet refined enough for zee French. Join us in St. Paul or Edina for cocktails and wine at the bar, oysters on the half shell, an extraordinary burger and fries, or the single best bowl of French Onion Soup this side of the Seine.
Pittsburgh Blue Steakhouse
Whether you’re lunching with clients or having dinner with the kids, Pittsburgh Blue’s dining room, Blue Tavern bar and private Club Room provide the refinement you want, the comfort you crave, and the affordability you need.
Muffuletta
Enjoy simply, perfectly prepared scratch cooking at St. Paul’s quintessential neighborhood restaurant. Our firstborn, Muffuletta is intimate, comfortable and boasts perhaps the best patio dining in the city. The menu changes daily and seasonally based on market availability. In an era of chains and theme restaurants, Muffuletta is refreshingly unique – and uniquely delicious.
Good Earth
The standard-setter for flavorful natural foods dining in Minnesota, Good Earth in Edina and Roseville serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a casual setting perfect for couples and families alike. Treat yourself to pristine greens, luscious fresh fruits, and naturally raised meats and seafood, as well as an impressive selection of organic wines.
