Scrip Program
SCRIP NEWS
February 2012
Scrip is a simple and effective way to raise much needed funds for our school by purchasing the same gift certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including Walmart, Target, Wawa, JCPenney, Old Navy, Shell, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster, Giant, Sheetz and many, many others. Click here for the list of over 700 participating retailers.
You’re probably asking yourself how these retailers 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 our school keeps the difference as 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.
There are several ways to purchase scrip. Order forms and payment can be sent to school, you can purchase scrip after any mass at St. Michael’s, or you can order online. Ordering online is easy. Go to www.shopwithscrip.com to register a new account. Go to the Family Sign Up box on the left side and click “create account”. Follow the registration instructions and accept the terms and conditions. To place an order, you’ll need St. Michael’s Enrollment Code which is F4B71B9C2653.
We keep an inventory of the cards listed on our order form, so there’s virtually no wait for your order if you order from the order form. If you’d like to order cards we don’t normally carry, we can get those for you in a few days.
The funds we can raise through scrip are unlimited. With the price of gas, groceries and cost of living in general, it’s nice to know that a portion of what you’re spending is going to help educate our youth but is not costing you anything extra!
Thanks for your support!
