Scrip fundraising is a no-selling program that enables families to raise money for their non-profit organization. Scrip is just another way to pay for everyday purchases using gift cards in place of cash, checks, and credit cards. You purchase gift cards from your PTA at face value, and your coordinator orders those cards at a reduced price. The difference is an instant rebate for your organization.

It’s really that simple! Great Lakes Scrip Center has over 300 of the country’s biggest brands, including grocery, department stores, gas stations, restaurants, hotels, home improvement, and more. Just by using scrip to pay for your normal weekly purchases, you can easily raise $500 or more per year. It’s time to put your shopping dollars to work!

Blythe Buck$ orders are due October 6th by 4pm. Orders will be delivered to you by Friday, October 9th. Orders can be placed online with checks payable to Blythe Park PTA for those who do not enroll in PrestoPay online (optional). Orders can be filled out using attached form and checks sent to school office.
