Scrip
Program
We’re
pleased to share some exciting news about a new fundraising
program for our organization. It’s called “scrip”,
and it’s the fundraising program that works while
you shop.
Scrip
is simply a word meaning “substitute money”
– in other words, scrip is gift cards/certificates
from national and local retailers. They’re the
same cards and certificates that you buy at the store.
Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program
including Albertsons, Safeway, King Soopers, Texaco,
Home Depot, Lowe’s Home Improvement, Dillard’s,
Macy’s, Kohl’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods,
Chili’s, On The Border, Saltgrass Steakhouse,
Starbuck’s and many, many others.
You’re
probably asking yourself how these businesses help
us raise money. It’s simple -- scrip participating
retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our organization
at a discount. Member families like yours buy the
certificates for full face value, they redeem them
for full face value, and our organization keeps the
difference as revenue. And scrip is exciting, because
everybody wins:
*
The retailer gets cash up front and repeat business…
* You get a powerful fundraising alternative that
involves no selling…
* Our program gets a regular source of revenue.
The
beauty of scrip is that you put your regular household
shopping dollars to work. You earn money for our school
without spending a single additional penny. Just spend
your regular shopping dollars with scrip at the stores
that participate in the scrip program! And scrip can
be used for just about any household purchase including
food, clothing, entertainment, fuel, and even dining
out.
