Script Gift Cards Orders
Posted: October 17, 2013 by Jayna Miller
Category: BYNS
Monthly Scrip Fundraising Information
The Boyertown Y National Swim Team will submit Scrip Gift Card orders monthly. Now you can raise money without buying unwanted items, without selling door-to-door, and with no extra cost to you every month.
How It Works
Scrip refers to gift certificates or gift cards. Our team is able to purchase gift cards from hundreds of retailers nationwide at a discount, which you can then buy at face value. The difference is our profit. These are the same gift cards that you would purchase if you went to the retailer directly. By purchasing these gift cards before you shop for your everyday items - like groceries, gas, clothes, and restaurants – we raise money, without you having to spend a penny extra. It’s just that simple.
How to Participate
Each month, select the cards you will buy from the merchant list https://www.glscrip.com/shop/Default.aspx
Fill out our team’s order form (print from the home page of the website), and place it inside Emily Glinecke’s mailbox along with payment by check. The cards will be ordered on October 20th, November 15th, and December 15th. You will be contacted by email a few days later to arrange pickup of your cards at the YMCA.
We encourage you to take advantage of the wonderful benefits offered by this monthly fundraiser. If you have questions, please contact Nancy Glinecke at 215-498-4182 or [email protected]
