4. Fundraising News: Scrip/RaiseRight gift card program: We have a new coordinator for this exciting fundraising program. We are putting together details for our band families and a full announcement will be included in next week’s Band News and Notes. To introduce it, here is the description form the LRHS Band Handbook:
RaiseRight: Angela Hamilton
RaiseRight works similarly to the Grocery Cards. The major differences are: 1.) The cards are ordered ahead of time and delivered about 2 weeks after orders are taken. 2.) RaiseRight includes, but is not limited to, local stores. Some stores include Sears, Gap, Pottery Barn and some restaurants include Little Caesar’s, Red Robin, Chili’s. A complete list of stores and more details about the program can be found on the company’s website at raiseright.com. Some cards are reloadable at the stores, but to get the rebate you must purchase a new one each time from the Band’s Club.
Angela has provided the following extra information: The enrollment code for RaiseRight is: 411B3F35692L
More details to follow next week!
