Welcome to FBCA’s Scrip FUNdraising Web Page.

FBCA makes it EASY to raise money for our school.

 

 

Currently, there are two different ways to earn much needed funds without any cost to you when you shop at the grocery stores and retail shops and getting gas for your cars. 

 

     1)    Scrip Program at FBCA.

 

2)      eScrip at Schnucks.  Visit the customer service counter at Schnucks and request eScrip Community Card.  Activate this card by calling  1-800-931-6258 or visit www.escrip.com/schnucks.jsp.  Present your card to the cashier every time you shop at Schnucks and a percentage of your sales will help raise funds for FBCA.

 

NATURE OF OUR SCRIP PROGRAM: 

 

First Baptist Christian Academy Scrip program is an ongoing fundraising program.  This fundraiser involves the purchase of gift cards from The Great Lakes Scrip Center.  This organization purchases gift cards in large quantities at a discount from the major food and retail chains.  As a school organization, we are able to buy these gift cards at a discount but in smaller quantities to sell at face value, thereby raising funds for our school.  The “profit” ranges from 2-20% of the gift card value.

DISCLAIMER:

 

The Scrip gift cards are normal retailer gift cards and should be treated the same as cash.  FBCA will not be responsible for gift cards that are lost, stolen, or misplaced while in your possession.  Scrip gift cards are purchased on your behalf, and are not returnable unless somehow defective.

 

ORDER PICK-UP:

 

Elementary parents must indicate at the top of the order form the method by which they would like to receive their gift cards.  The gift cards can either be:  (1) sent home in their child’s backpack, or (2) be picked up in the Elementary school office.  Preschool parents will pick their orders up in the  Early Education office.  If parents choose to have the gift cards released with their child, they must sign the order form as a waiver of responsibility stating that they will not hold FBCA responsible for any lost or misplaced gift cards delivered in this manner. 

 

When you receive your gift card order, please open your envelope and verify its accuracy.  In the event you should find a discrepancy in your order, please contact the FBCA Scrip Coordinator within 3 days.

 

 

TAX DEDUCTABILITY:

 

If you choose 100% back to school this amount is tax deductable.  You will receive a charitable donation form from FBCA in January 2011.  This form will be for your tax purposes.

 

The scrip program is run solely by volunteers as a fundraiser for FBCA PTC.  FBCA reserves the right to terminate the Scrip Program at any time.
