Scrip: Raise money while you shop
The Wildcat Pride Booster Club’s new scrip program allows you to buy gift cards through the band and credit a percentage of your purchase to your band account. You can buy cards for everything from gas and groceries to home repair to your favorite restaurants.
Essentially, you can pay your band fees with money you’re already spending every day.
Sound too good to be true? Here’s how it works. The company we’ve contracted with, Great Lakes Scrip Center, buys the cards at a discount and credits a percentage back to your band account.

There are three kinds of scrip money, two ways to order them, and three ways to pay.
3 Kinds of Scrip
1. Gift cards: Plastic cards loaded with funds that you spend at the retailer. When you order these, they are shipped to the Booster Club and you pick them up on Tuesday evenings. You may pay for these with PrestoPay, check or cash.
2. Reloadable gift cards: Plastic cards you can add more money to via scrip. Order the first plastic card online, then re-up when you need to using PrestoPay. Available for a specific list of brands.
3. ScripNow! Buy online, pay with PrestoPay, and print at home for immediate use. Available only for certain brands.
2 Ways to Order
1. Online. Create your account and shop away! Pay online, send a check to the blue box, or bring payment to the band room Tuesday evening.
2. On paper. Come to the band room on Tuesday evening between 5:30 and 7 pm. Fill out your order and pay with check or cash. (Feel free to browse the possibilities online before you come.)
3 Ways to Pay
1. PrestoPay is like PayPal for scrip – it uses secure ACH technology to transfer your funds. This is the preferred method, and it allows you to pay online for more shopping options, too. Learn more, or register, here >
2. Bring a check to the blue box in the band room for the amount of your online order by 7 pm on Tuesday evening. Put it in a sealed envelope and write “SCRIP,” your name and your student’s name on the outside of the envelope.
3. Bring check or cash and turn it in during scrip hours Tuesday evenings from 5:30-7 pm in the band room.
All orders received and paid for by 7 pm on Tuesday will be ordered the following day and available for pickup the following Tuesday evening.
