Major Retailers Want To Give Our School Money!

Dear Tuacahn High School Parent:

As a busy parent of a student here at THS, I want to make sure that we are able to raise funds for important projects at the school, that benefit our children, without having to sell anything (you know, cookie dough, gift wrap and other things we don’t really need). The best way to go about this is to have families buy scrip.

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, Lowes, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster, Office Max, Wal-Mart, Albertson’s 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 yours 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…
  • You get a powerful fundraising alternative that involves no selling
  • 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. Gift cards also make great last minute gifts! We will have a few on hand for your last minute purchases.

Just fill out the form with the quantity of gift cards desired, along with the total cash amount. For example, if you want 2 Subway gift cards at $50 each, just put 2 quantity, then $100 total. Next, total up all of the individual totals, write a check or pay cash, submit your order by Tuesday, and receive your order Friday afternoon. 

The THS scrip program promises to be a simple and effective fundraising program.  Thanks for supporting this fundraising effort!   This year our goal is to have each THS Academy benefit from our fundraising efforts. We will inform you of specifics in the near future!
