Decatur High Boosters Kiss Off Chick-fil-A – Decatur-Avondale Estates Patch

The Decatur High Bulldog Boosters (DBB) will not sell Chick-fil-A products at concession stands during athletic events, but club leaders say it's not because the fast-food chain donates money to groups that oppose gay marriage.

Club leader Bill Ainslie said the booster club, which raises money for Decatur High and Renfroe Middle school athletic programs, had talked about finding other vendors for several years.

This year the DBB sought and received bids that beat Chick-fil-A's, he said. Dairy Queen sandwiches were sold Aug. 18 at a scrimmage football game at Bulldog Stadium. See Decatur-Avondale Estates Patch for more on this story.
