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:
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.

We have cards on
hand to sell. We also hope to put an order in on the 1st and
3rd Monday of each month. This fundraiser is open to
everyone! It can be a real time saver for gifts and other
occasions--PLEASE pass the word on to everyone you know! The
vendors are nationwide, so you can order for family members in other states!
