Gift Cards - exciting news!

 
FPAC are pleased to share some exciting news about a new fundraising program, it is call SCRIP and it’s the fundraiser that works while you shop.  SCRIP is a way for us to purchase gift cards from national and local retailers, the same ones you buy in the stores, but FPAC gets a percentage of every card.


Many popular retailers participate in the SCRIP program including Home Depot, Lowes, Starbucks, Target, Walmart and many more.

SCRIP participating retailers agree to sell gifts cards to FPAC at a discount.  Families but the certificates for full face value, redeem them for full face value at the store or online, and FPAC puts the proceeds towards this years “Save for Shade” campaign.

The beauty of SCRIP is that you put your regular household shopping dollars to works.  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 program.

All orders need to be paid for in advance, with checks payable to FPAC-GPO accompanied by a completed order form.  FPAC will collect orders through August – deadline for orders in August 20th – and we will deliver the cards the first week of September.  You can download your order form HERE.

The FPAC SCRIP program promises to be a simple and effective fundraising tool for us.
Thank you for your support in getting this “Save for Shade” campaign off the ground!
