Scrip Cards
Are you letting your free money get away? If you are not using Scrips you are not getting your free money!
Do you find yourself grabbing a quick lunch at Arby’s, Carl Jr., Burger King, Chipolte Mexican Grill, Domino’s, Noodles, Qdoba, Subway or Wendy’s, to name a few fast food restaurants?
Do you shop at Kohl’s, JC Penny’s, Walmart, Target or Kmart?
Or are you going out to dinner at Chili’s, Applebee’s, Bonefish Grill, Mimi’s Cafe or picking up a pizza at Papa Murphy’s or Papa John’s for the kids?
These are but a few of the many scrip options available for you to purchase. When you purchase scrip, a percentage of the face value of the scrip goes back to the Loveland Band Boosters with half going to your student’s grant account and half to the general fund that supports all band and guard activities.
For example, do you drink Starbucks? Purchase a gift card through shopwithscrip.com and they give back 7%! Half of that goes to your grant account. If you got a $25 card you would make $1.75. If you reloaded your card with Scrips for $25 every month you would make $21 for the year. Now, if you saw $21 lying on the ground would you walk by and say it isn’t worth it?
