Scrips

Dear WOW Parent:

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
cards/certificates from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift cards/certificates that
you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including Dick’s
Sporting Goods, The Gap, Domino’s 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/certificates to our organization at a discount.
Member families like yours buy the cards/certificates for full face value, they redeem them for
full face value, and WOW 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…
• WOW 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 WOW 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 clothing, entertainment, gasoline and even dining
out.

The WOW scrip program promises to be a simple and effective fundraising program. Thanks for
your support. Please contact Becky Columbus at 232-6401 or becky@avalive.com with any
questions.

Sincerely,
WOW Fundraising Committee
