Scrip fundraising is a no-selling program that allows families to raise money for their child’s robotics fees
- Order gift cards using the Scrip website at face value, and your coordinator orders those cards from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a reduced price. The difference in price is an instant rebate for your organization and will get applied to your child’s dues
- Pay for everyday purchases using gift cards from national and local retailers in place of cash, checks, and credit cards
- Over 300 of the country’s biggest brands, including grocery, department stores, gas stations, restaurants, hotels, home improvement, and more. Ex. CVS, Meijer, Speedway
- Use Scrip to pay for your normal weekly purchases -you can easily raise $500 or more per year.
- Currently only parents of the robotics students and mentors can sign up. Grandparents and other family members would have to give you their order and money. You can then order on your account on the website and pay with 1 check made out to RARPO.
