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,
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. Member families like
ours 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…
·
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.
