SCRIP Program
|
Dear Willington Parent:
We're pleased to share some exciting news about a returning fund raising program for our organization.
It's called "scrip", and it's the fund raising program 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 JCPenny, The Gap, Shell, 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.
Memberb families like yours buy the certificates for full face value, they redeem them for full face value,
and our school 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 fund raising alternative that involves no selling...
- Our school 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, gasoline and even dining out.
To order simply fill out the order form with your payment by Tuesday of each week and your scrip
gift cards will be delivered to you by the following Tuesday. We will be accepting orders from November
2006 through the end of the school year.
The Willington PTA scrip program promises to be a simple and effective fund raising program.
