Raise Right Fundraiser
Here is a new & easy way that you can help us with our fundraising. I like to think of it as free money!! Do you use or buy gift cards? Especially this time of year? We are inviting you to join our gift card fundraising program.
The RaiseRight organization partners with hundreds of brands. You can choose from eGift cards, physical gift cards, or reloadable gift cards—all with no activation fees or expiration dates. Shop online with 550+ brands, dine at participating restaurants, even buy gas cards or book hotels, and car rentals for massive earning potential. Over 50,000 organizations trust RaiseRight as their #1 fundraising platform.
You can also earn from all your online shopping. Log in at RaiseRight.com or the mobile app, then select the Shop Online tab to browse brands, shop directly on their websites, and earn on your purchases.
How it works: Let’s say you purchase a $100 gift card from a participating brand. In turn, they donate a percentage of the gift card's value to Strong Tower Radio, ranging from 1-14%, sometimes more. But your gift card is still worth the price you paid. The brand is paying the percentage, similar to what Amazon Smile used to do. That’s why I call it free money!
Use our unique enrollment code Y2V9HHQ9DXPN to help us fundraise! Please go to RaiseRight.com & join. Use gift cards that give back, earn anywhere, anytime with everyday purchases. Shop Now!
