INTRODUCING SCRIP

Earn Money for Forestdale From Major Retailers Without Additional Spending on Your Part - IT’S EASY! 

We’re pleased to offer an exciting fundraising program for our organization.  It’s called “scrip”, and it works while you shop! Scrip is simply a word that means “substitute money”. Scrip is gift certificates from national and local retailers.  They’re the same gift certificates that you buy at stores.  Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including JCPenney, Safeway, Giant, Sam’s Club, Kohl’s, The Gap, Shell, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster, Domino’s, and many, many others.   How do 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.  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 earn money for our school without spending a single additional penny.  Just spend your regular shopping dollars with scrip gift cards 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, dining out, or gift cards for birthdays and other celebrations. We are collecting orders now! 

Families can create a scrip account to place secure orders online using PrestoPay®. Visit www.shopwithscrip.com to create your account. The Forestdale registration number is 4E7CD85C22586.  Thanks for your support! 

Sincerely,Kelly Cohen, PTA Scrip program coordinator
