Scrip Card
Fundraiser Update
 |
Band families! Take
advantage of our next Scrips gift card order. With two orders submitted,
the band has received more than $700 in profits, and students have
earned more than $400 in their student accounts. Use the attached order
form to purchase gift cards for your everyday spending. Whether
you are grocery shopping, purchasing gas, or paying for clothing, shoes,
or household goods, you can use gift cards and support the band at the
same time. As an added bonus, a third of the profits go into your
student's account. Start building your student's account for Band Camp
dues!
Is your student going to
Disney? Will they be taking spending money for inside the park? Disney
cards in denominations as low as $25 are available!
Use this order form
to make your order. Orders will be due March 26th and gift cards will be sent home
with students the following week.
If you are mailing your
order, please give plenty of time for it to reach the PO Box. You can
send orders in with your student.

Scrip Gift Card
Fundraiser
 |
Because we want
to offer fundraisers that provide value to band families, we will begin
ordering Scrip gift cards. You don't need to purchase things you won't use,
students don't even have to go out and sell. If band families alone
participate in this program we should be able to generate revenues for the
band.
How Scrip
cards raise revenues for us - The Great Lakes Scrip Center acts on
behalf of non-profit organizations, to purchase large amounts of scrip from
grocery stores, department stores, and
other retailers. Because the scrip is purchased with cash up front, the
participating retailers offer a substantial discount. Our organization buys
the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center and receives a percentage of the
face value of each gift card.
Do you shop at
Walmart, Sams, Target, Walgreens, or CVS? We've got a card for that. Do you buy
gas at Mobil, Exxon, or BP? We've got a card for that. Do you buy your home
improvement supplies at Lowes, Home Depot, or Ace Hardware? We've got a card
for that. Is your student
going to Disney? Do you think they will buy souvenirs? We've got a card
for that. You can buy these gift cards to do your normal shopping. You can
use them to pay your bills.
Students
will receive a percentage of the proceeds into their student account..
For example; Sheetz $100 gas
card- 3% rebate - $1.00 into student account and $2.00 to band general
fund.
CVS/pharmacy $100 gift card- 6% rebate-
$2.00 into student account and $4.00 to band general fund.
You can
see how these small amounts can add up over time, not just to support
your student's band, but as funds into your student's account.
Funds come to both the band and your student's account immediately with
order. We don't have to wait for a check!!!
Use this Family
order form to make your order.
Orders should be turned in with payment and we anticipate a turnaround time
of approximately one week for cards to be delivered. First order
will be placed February 14th. Forms due by that day with payment.
We hope
to keep this as an ongoing fundraiser with orders submitted at least
monthly. (1/29/12) |
