Stop selling and start earning! Scrip fundraising is a no-selling program that allows families to raise money for their non-profit organization (NPO). 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 organization at face value, and your coordinator orders those cards from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a reduced price. The difference is an instant rebate for your organization. It’s really that simple!

When you use scrip gift cards at your favorite retailers, you’re fundraising while you shop. Great Lakes Scrip Center offers 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!

© 2013 Great Lakes Scrip Center LLCThe merchants represented are not sponsors of scrip fundraising or otherwise a�liated with Great Lakes Scrip Center. The logos and other identifying marks used are trademarks of and owned by each represented company and/or its a�liates. Please visit each company’s website for additional terms and conditions.

Please email or call withquestions or concerns: Bridget Lasecki Bridget.Lasecki@gmail.com 845-417-6773

Scrip is a fundraiser through which your everyday spending can raise money for KCS - at no extra cost to you! Simply purchase gift cards to your favorite retailers. You will receive the full value of your gift card and

KCS will receive a cash donation, (percentages listed on order form.)

Remember that gift cards make great gifts for Mother’s Day, and they are also a great teacher appreciation gift as well!

If you plan on purchasing uniforms, remember that Land’s End provides 15% donation to KCS on both the $25 and $100 gift cards. (KCS receives $15 with the purchase of a $100 gift card.)

Christmas Shopping could not be easier !Scrip Gift Card Fundraiser

Payments are by cash or check made payable to Kingston Catholic School.

Order Forms and payment must be received by December 6 for cards to be delivered on time, no extensions will be allowed.
