Ranger Fundraiser Opportunity!!
A reminder to previous Ranger Families and information for the newer families that Rangers has a fundraiser account with RaiseRight (formerly ShopWithScrip).
Information about Raise Right:
If you are not familiar with RaiseRight (Scrip) it is a fundraiser where you buy gift cards (electronic gift cards, physical gift cards, and reloadable gift cards). What you pay for the card is the value of the card. Then every type of card has a different percentage of earning, anywhere from 1% to 20%, that goes to the Rangers. (Of the percentage earned by the Rangers 75% goes to your account and 25% to the Rangers).
You can do some research and look into the program by going to RaiseRight.com. They also have an App for easy electronic gift card purchases when you want it immediately at a store or restaurant. Payment for the purchase of your cards would be set up right through your account with online payment. This is the only way to pay as we are not going to have the option to make cash or check payments to the Rangers Club. Gift Card Orders will not be placed if you have not already paid online. You can pay with a credit card but there is a more significant fee for that type of payment. The better option is to use your bank account and have payment directly withdrawn from your account and it has just a $0.29 fee for your entire one time purchase, not per gift card.
We do encourage the purchase of the ecards, or electronic cards, if they are available for the card that you want. This allows you to have access to the card immediately. Where as if you order an actual physical gift card the club will only submit the order for delivery of those once we have enough to make the shipping cost of worth it. They also get shipped to the Club and then we will have to find a time to distribute them to you, so the ecards are much easier as it may be a few weeks before you get your physical gift card. The ecards can be printed from the website as well if you want to use to be given as a gift. We are hoping that the only time we really submit actual gift card orders is at Christmas time. If we have enough physical gift card orders we will try to get them submitted and ordered more often at Christmas time.
Examples of a how a to use the program from a parent who has been using this program for several years and usually earn $100-$200 a year with it:
- You are at a restaurant that has ecards with scrip, the bill comes for $65. You go on the Raise Right App and purchase a $60 egift card right then, the card has a 10% earning. So you pay $60 and the $0.29 fee, but you have earned $6 to go to the Rangers ($4.50 would go towards my players account). Then you just show the egift card and use that to pay $60 of your bill.
- Need a big item like an appliance, Home Depot usually is only about a 4% earning, but Raise Right often has Bonus Days for certain cards and they happened to have a bonus day with a 7% percent earning. An appliance you needed to buy anyways was about $450. You buy that much in ecards, use it to pay when you check out and have earned $31.50 for Rangers!
- You can print off ecards for teacher gifts and family gifts. You can see what types of cards have a higher percentage of earnings and choose those cards to purchase over others.
If you remember to use it, the small amounts add up quickly, and it is easy to use on the go with the app! It is even better if you can use towards a major purchase you have to make anyways!
The earning year will run from June 1st thru May 31st every year. So at the beginning of June your earnings for the previous year will be added up and any earnings you have will be credited towards your account to be used to the next years club fees!
