Fundraising & Development
Gift Cards are Back!
St. Hugh School is participating in a gift cards fundraising program again for the '07/'08 school year through Great Lakes Scrip Center (GLScrips). Gift cards are available from hundreds of your favorite retailers, grocers, restaurants, gas stations, theaters, and even rental car companies. You can use them just like cash for everyday shopping, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduations, Christmas and holiday shopping. And, when you purchase a gift card, for, say, $100, from St. Hugh School you will receive a card with that full value of $100. St. Hugh School receives its fundraising revenue through a discount of up to 15% or more from GLScrips and the various retailers when the order is placed. So, when you buy gift cards to make your everyday purchases you are raising money for our school – without spending a single extra penny.
Parents: purchase $800 worth of gift cards over the course of the school year and you’ve met your family fundraising obligation of $200 because 25% of your gift card purchases goes towards meeting your fundraising obligation.
Here's all you have to do:
- Download the List of Participating Merchants (PDF, updated 1/15/08).
- Download the Order Form (MS Excel, updated 1/15/08) and fill in your order.
- Print the completed order form and place in an envelope marked GIFT CARDS with your check (payable to St. Hugh School) and send it in to the school.
Orders are due every Thursday. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the Chair, Karen Spruill at 301-249-2486 or at karenmspruill@yahoo.com
