How do you raise money for a school without spending any extra money? Through
the use of Scrip, which is just another word for gift certificates. Scrip is an
ongoing fundraising program that has been very successful during the past three
years. Last year we raised around $7,000 for the school. The money went to
purchase much-needed playground equipment for our kids.
How does Scrip work? The stores give the school a discount because the gift
certificate is a pre-sale for them and because we buy in large quantities. The
discount, which averages anywhere from 1.5% to 16%, is the net contribution
retained by the school. Therefore, you truly do not pay anything more than what
you would normally. You still can buy sale items, get change back (in limited
amounts), and use coupons. Some of the certificates have an expiration date, but
many do not.
To participate, all you have to do is fill out a Scrip form, attach a check,
and send it to school with your child by the deadline. We will fill your order,
and either send it home or let you know it is ready for pick-up in about a week.
Please help us help the school by participating in this fundraising program.
The money raised is used to purchase books for the Media Center, toys for the
playground and many other worthwhile items that our children benefit from
greatly!
Purchasing Scrip CAN make a difference!
Do you think $200 worth of Scrip per month is too much to buy? Here is an example of how fast $200 per month can add up quickly for a family of four:
| Item |
Amount |
Percentage Earned by School |
Amount Earned by School |
| Groceries |
$100.00 |
5% |
$5.00 |
| Gas |
$20.00 |

$0.40 |
| Pizza |
$10.00 |

If only $200 per month were purchased |
If only $100 per month were purchased |
If only $50 per month were purchased |
| Amount Earned Per Family |
$12.90 |
$6.45 |
$3.23 |
| Multiplied by Braelinn's ~400 families |
400 |

| Total revenue for the month would be |
$5,160.00 |
$2,580.00 |
$1,292.00 |
| |
| Total for the school year (9 months) |
$46,440.00 |
$23,220.00 |
$11,628.00 |
The above is just an example of some items you can buy with Scrip. Prescriptions, clothing, shoes, presents, ice cream, educational items, etc. can
also be purchased with Scrip. So why not use Scrip instead of your cash or check at the participating stores? The small effort on your part helps our
children have a better school and does not cost you anymore than what you already spend.
