Major Retailers Want To Give Oak Creek Hockey Money!
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/gift
cards from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift
certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers
participate in our scrip program including Safeway, Ace, Cabela's, Gap, Walmart,
Old Navy 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 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 OCHA 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 hockey association 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 OCHA
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.

OCHA scrip program promises to be a simple and effective fundraising
program.
