SCRIP

Major Retailers Want To Give Musical Theatre Academy Money!

We’re pleased to share some exciting news about a fundraising program for our organization. It’s called “scrip”, and it’s the fundraising program that works while you shop. Scrip is simply a word that means “substitute money” - in other words, scrip is gift cards (money cards) from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift cards that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including JCPenney, The Gap, ARCO, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster, Souplantation, Safeway/Vons, fast food, fine dining, american express, travel, and many, many others.

You’re probably asking yourself how these stores help us raise money. It’s simple - scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift cards (money cards) to our organization at a discount. Member families like yours buy the cards for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and MTA keeps the difference as revenue.

With summer and the holidays coming up soon…think about purchasing SCRIP from MTA to use at your grocery store when you purchase food for your regular shopping, bbq’s, parties, Thanksgiving dinner and other meals! You’d be paying the store directly, why not buy the SCRIP thru MTA and use the SCRIP at check out?! MTA accepts cash, checks, Visa and MasterCard. Purchase SCRIP to give as gifts. There is even SCRIP for See’s Candy, which you can then use to purchase the yummy candy for your holiday needs. Travel plans in the horizon? Why not purchase SCRIP for use with airlines and hotels? I like to buy SCRIP, then redeem them at the retailers when I pick out that perfect holiday gift! Don’t forget to order SCRIP for your employees as gifts, incentives, prizes, etc.
It’s extremely easy. Order on line day or night! You don’t need to register a credit card or bank account.
