Scrip
What is Scrip?
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
JC Penney, The Gap, Shell, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster and many, many others.
How do these stores help us raise money? It’s simple -- scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our organization at a discount. Families like yours buy the certificates for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and the Band Boosters keep the difference.
The beauty of scrip is that you put your regular household shopping dollars to work. You earn money for
the Band Boosters 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.
How do I participate?
Keep them for yourself, or give them as gifts. Either way, you and your child come out ahead by using Scrip.
You can purchase the scrip cards by filling out an order form (click
here), and turning it in with your payment.
Orders can be dropped in the safe in the front of the band hall or turned in at
the monthly Band Boosters Meeting in the Band Hall.
