SCRIP Orders

Introducing AYBT "Scrip." We are pleased to share some exciting news about a new fundraising program for AYBT. It's called "scrip", and it's the fundraising program that works while you shop. Scrip is a term 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. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for AYBT and your scholarship fund. Half of the revenue will go to AYBT and half to your scholarship fund. 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, they redeem them for full face value, and we keep the difference as revenue. The beauty of scrip is that you put your regular household shopping dollars to work.You earn money for AYBT and your scholarship fund without spending a single additional penny. Contact the Academy office for the order form. Please fill in the form; attach your check for the total to AYBT; and turn the form and check in to Martha at the AYBTA office. We will return the gift cards the next week.

Orders due, 2/15, 3/14, 4/18
