ANYONE SHOP ON AMAZON?
Kidding.. I'm kidding... (sorta)
Ever use AmazonSmile? It's an easy way to support your local groups. As it turns out, the New Pal High School Band Boosters have an account too!
Rather than going to plain ole Amazon.com - you go to www.smile.amazon.com.
Once logged in, search for New Palestine Band as your preferred group.
Now, with each purchase you make at smile.amazon, a small portion is donated to the Band Program.
No catch. No forms to fill out. Same prices and everything!
The only tweak is that you need to start at smile.amazon... instead of the basic amazon site to start shopping.
Super cool & super easy!
Please consider using AmazonSmile to support our band and guard.
This year, more than ever, appreciate your support!

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.
