Let your Shopping be a Gift to the Band!

www.shopwithscrip.com    Enrollment Code: 9CF3LB88219L5

We have started a new, ongoing fundraiser called Scrip which does not require you to sell anything!

What is Scrip? Scrip is another word for gift card. What the band is asking you to do is to consider purchasing gift cards through the Scrip program to use instead of cash or credit for a good or service you would normally use.

What gift cards are available? There are hundreds of stores and restaurants that participate in the Scrip program. Some popular businesses are Darden restaurants, Chipotle, Starbucks, Winn Dixie, Albertsons, CVS, Walgreens, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Chevron, Texaco, Shell, and even iTunes.

How does this earn money for the band? By purchasing the gift cards from the band, the band receives a rebate of between 1.5% and 15% of the face value of the gift card. The percentage is determined by the company who issues the card. The average rebate is about 5%. If 100 families participate and purchase $100 of gift cards per month (that’s just $25 per week), the band could earn around $500 per month or $6000 per year!

How do I purchase Scrip? This is easy! For families who have an email address, you can do your ordering online; however, you will need to send your payment into the school. To order online, go to www.shopwithscrip.com and set up a free account. The first time you use the website, you will need to register and set up a family account. You will be asked for an “Enrollment Code” for your non-profit group. The code for William R. Boone High School Band is 9CF3LB88219L5. After your family is signed up, you click on the SHOP heading and begin shopping. For families who do not want to shop online, you can pick up a paper order form in the band room, fill out your order, and return the form with payment to a designated box in the band room. Checks should be made payable to Boone High School.

When are the order deadlines? Orders deadlines for the remainder of the 2009-2010 school year are
   January 15 and 29
   February 12 and 26
   March 12 and 24
