MANSFIELD, Texas – Mansfield’s high schools have a new way of promoting their school spirit, with student-designed custom debit cards issued by Texas Trust CU.
The newly designed cards are part of the Texas Trust Spirit Debit Reward program, which pays 15 cents to the participating school each time the card is used to make a purchase. Mansfield high schools earned almost $20,000 from Spirit Debit Reward cards from August 2011 through April 2012. The schools receive a monthly check for the money earned.
The new card designs and winners of the design contest were unveiled during a Mansfield Spirit event Monday.
The finalists were posted on Facebook during a six-day period when students, parents, teachers, administrators, and the community voted for their favorite card design for each school. More than 28,000 votes were received via Facebook. The Facebook votes were combined with votes from a panel of judges.
Winners received $250 and a seat on the Texas Trust Youth Advisory Council. They also get to spend a day with the Texas Trust professional graphic designer and marketing team to learn more about the design profession.
