SANDERSON HIGH SCHOOL BAND FUND-RAISER

Introducing SCRIP, a relaxing, easy way to earn Fair Share!


What is SCRIP?

The concept of SCRIP is that the band purchases gift card certificates, or SCRIP, at a discount from a company that provides gift cards to popular retailers (like Blockbuster, Chili's, and Home Depot). Parents order the gift certificates at face value. The gift card (scrip) is then spent at the retailer, where it's worth the full face value. No extra money has been spent and your Fair Share just made a profit. The difference between the discount and the face value goes directly into your student's Fair Share account. Hundreds of retailers are available. It will be an ongoing opportunity.

NOTE: SCRIP orders can now be placed online at http://www.shopwithscrip.com/. Please see instructions, below.

How does SCRIP work?

  1. You purchase gift cards through the band from a list of available retailers at face value. For example, you buy a $25 "GAP TriCard" good at GAP, Old Navy, and Banana Republic and pay $25 to the Band.
  2. The Band purchases the gift card from Great Lakes SCRIP Center at a discount.
  3. The difference between the discounted cost of the gift card and the $25 face value is credited to your individual student account. For example, the discount the “GAP TriCard” offers is 9% payback, earning your Fair Share account $2.25 on just that one card.

Who can purchase SCRIP?

Orders can be submitted by any student in Marching Band. Collect orders from family members, neighbors, friends, teachers, or co-workers. The return on the discount is credited to that student's Fair Share.

Additional Information

SCRIP is substitute money and should be treated as cash. The Band Boosters cannot be held responsible for lost or misplaced Gift Cards. An additional 50 cents will be added to each student's total order to cover shipping and handling. Gift card values and percentage paybacks change occasionally. There are monthly specials that may be to your advantage. Some of your favorite retailers may temporarily give a greater return, so check with www.glscrip.com to see if there is a monthly special.

Think ahead for the holidays. In rare instances, back orders may occur. Order early and don't be disappointed.
