SCRIP is a new fundraiser that will benefit the Band Booster General Fund. Our first SCRIP order was a success! While only six families ordered SCRIP, we were able to collect a profit of $94.35. Just imagine if more families joined in!
As a reminder, the SCRIP fundraiser is a no-extra-cost-to-you fundraiser. You simply buy”gift” cards for the places where you usually shop, you get the full amount you pay for, and the Boosters get a percentage of the sale. Now that the ball is rolling, Kami will be placing SCRIP orders on a weekly basis. Place your orders by Monday, and receive your SCRIP cards on Thursday.
We need more families to participate in order to maximize our profits. Please consider placing an order for the places where you plan to shop, and ask your friends and family to do the same! The most up-to-date order forms are attached to this email.
