West Ottawa Athletic Boosters & supporters:
We are continuing our SCRIP fundraising program for 2008/2009. It’s the fundraisng program that works while you shop. Last year we made over $6000 in profit from this program.
Scrip is simply a word that means “substitute money” – in other words, scrip is gift certificates from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including Lowe’s, The Gap, Shell, Pizza Hut, Applebee’s and many, many others.
You’re probably asking yourself how 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, you redeem them for full face value, and our organization keeps the difference as revenue. Everybody wins:
* The retailer gets cash up front and repeat business
* We get a powerful fundraising alternative that involves no selling…
* Our organization gets a regular source of revenue that will be used to fund our athletic programs at West OttawaThe beauty of scrip is that you put your regular household shopping dollars to work. You earn money for our organization without spending a single additional penny. Just spend your regular shopping dollars with scrip at the retailers that participate in the scrip program! And scrip can be used for just about any household purchase including food, clothing, entertainment, gasoline and even dining out.

Thanks for your support,
