LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW SCRIP SALES HELP OUR PARISH AS A WHOLE
WHAT IS SCRIP? SCRIP is a term that means “substitute money”. When you purchase SCRIP, you are purchasing gift certificates and pre-paid gift cards that are used just like cash. You can use SCRIP to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, gas and other essentials. With every purchase of a SCRIP gift card, you help St. Christopher earn money. SCRIP is a popular fundraiser because families do not have to sell anything. You use SCRIP to make your regular purchases and St. Christopher earns a profit. Order a gift card for yourself or to give as a gift for special occasions. SCRIP gift cards make excellent stocking stuffers, end of the year teacher gifts, and graduation presents.
HOW DOES ST. CHRISTOPHER EARN MONEY THROUGH SCRIP?
St. Christopher purchases SCRIP gift cards at a discount. For example, a $100 Speedway gift card costs St. Christopher $95. We earn $5 or 5% for our school when you buy a Speedway card. The percentages earned range from 2% to 15% or more. The greater our parish participation, the greater our profit. These SCRIP profits are used to keep tuition costs as low as possible and reduce the parish subsidy of the school. Essential facility improvements, for example the school intercom system, was made possible school because of the funding provided by SCRIP sales.
