Give Back this Holiday Season with our New Gift Card 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 that means “substitute money” – in other words, scrip is gift certificates from national and local  retailers.  They’re the same gift certificates that you buy  at the store.  Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including JCPenney, The Gap, Target, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster and many, many others.  

You’re probably asking yourself how these stores help us raise money.  It’s simple -- scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our organization at a discount.  People like you 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…
•               We get a powerful fundraising alternative that involves no selling…
•               Our organization 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 organization 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, gasoline and even dining out.

Participating is simple.  Download the order form here.  Return it to us with payment.  First order is due on 11/23/11 and second order is due 12/12/11.  Orders arrive in approximately one week and will be in available for pickup.
