Current & On Going Fundraisers
Do you, or someone you know WASH CLOTHES/DISHES?
Detergent & more D5 Fundraiser
All year long - orders placed once per month
5-gallon laundry detergent, 5-gallon fabric softener, Dishwasher tabs or Pods
These make a GREAT gift. :)
(example: buy a $45 laundry detergent... $15 is applied to a students account!)
All year long - orders placed once per month
We offer 13-gallon, 18 gallon, 29-gallon, and 55-60 gallon trash bags.
These are GOOD quality bags. Better than what you're buying at the hardware stores.
(example: buy a $14 roll of bags... $5 goes towards a students account!)

SCRIP Fundraiser
All year long - orders placed once per month
We have partnered with the SCRIP fundraising activity which rewards you for buying almost anything.
Shop at Kohls? (fundraising!) Shop at Best Buy?? (fundraising!!) Eat at BW3's or Wendy's? (Fundraising!!) Do you or someone you know BUY GAS?? Yep.. gas, too.
There are currently over 750 stores that participate.
How it works:
You pick a store & buy a gift card. ($10.. $20..$50.. any amount)
You receive the gift card, and your student account receives the rebate!
Each retailer has a set rebate & some are higher than others.
Lets say you need a new refrigerator. You buy a $500 gift card through SCRIP from Home Depot (yep, they're on there too). Home Depot may have a 4% SCRIP rebate going on. Your band account receives $20 and you get the $500 to buy your fridge.
Get it?? Pretty cool, eh?
For more info on SCRIP, or for help getting started, contact Dawn Smith.
