Dear Etz Hayim Synagogue Member:
We're pleased to share some exciting news about a new fundraising program for our organization. It's called "scrip", and it's the fundraising program that works while you shop.
Scrip is simply a word that means "substitute money" in other words, scrip is gift certificates/cards from national and local retailers. They're the same gift cards that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including JCPenney, The Gap, Shell, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster and many, many others.
You're probably asking yourself how these stores help us raise money. It's simple -- scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift cards to our organization at a discount. Member families like yours buy the cards for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and our synagogue keeps the difference as revenue. And scrip is exciting, because everybody wins:

- The
retailer gets cash up front and repeat business!
- You
get a powerful fundraising alternative that involves no
selling!
- Our
synagogue gets a regular source of revenue.
The beauty of scrip is that you put your regular household shopping
dollars to work. You earn money for our school without spending
a single additional penny. Just spend your regular shopping dollars
with scrip at the stores that participate in the scrip program!
And scrip can be used for just about any household purchase including
food, clothing, entertainment, gasoline and even dining out.
