Everyone can participate in supporting your student’s music by purchasing Scrip...your family, friends and relatives. This is fundraising where you don’t sell anything and you simply make your regular household purchases -- Here's what it's all about: |

Scrip is a term that means “substitute money.” When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for our organization. |

The company we use acts on behalf of non-profits like schools to purchase large amounts of scrip from grocery stores and other retailers. Because the scrip is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a discount. We buy the scrip from the Scrip Center at a discount, and re-sell the certificates to you for at full face value. The discount – from two to fifteen percent or more – is our revenue and helps support our program. |

Scrip is a popular fundraiser because families don’t have to sell anything. You generate revenue when you make regular household purchases you would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts and even gasoline can be purchased with scrip. |
