What is Scrip?
Scrip is a great way to grow your family's trip account for any of the Bethel summer trips. Bethel has a tradition of encouraging our youth in grades eight through twelve to participate in summer trips as a means of learning to reach out to others, create relationships with other Bethelites, experience faith growth, and encounter new adventures. As a fundraiser, the purpose behind Scrip is to grow your trip account using dollars that you are spending anyway. This means that dollars you are spending for groceries, gas, prescriptions, birthday presents, fast food, or going out to eat can increase your trip account without spending extra money. Each card or certificate carries the face value of the purchased amount, but the pledged percent from the retailer then goes into your trip account. The cards carry any unused balance from one purchase to another just like any other gift card. What if I don't have a child going on a trip? You're still welcome to purchase Scrip cards and either designate a Bethel youth who is going on a summer trip, or designate that the funds should go to the scholarship fund. How soon will my cards arrive? Depending on the number of orders placed, we may not order cards every week; we do definitely order every other week. You may need to plan a little bit ahead for back-to-school shopping or birthdays so that we will have the cards when you need them. Orders brought in from family and friends will be credited to your account. We have a certain number of cards in stock to take with you on a first-come basis including: Caribou, Subway, Dairy Queen, Applebee’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, ITunes, Walgreen’s, Holiday $25/100, Chipotle, Dominos, Cub $25/100, Kohl’s $25/100, Kwik Trip $20/25/50/100, Red Lobster/Olive Garden, Menard’s $24/100, Panera Bread, Papa Murphy’s, Pizza Hut, Dick’s Sporting Goods $100, Mill’s Fleet Farm $100, SuperAmerica $100, and Target $25/100. Is there an online option so I don't have to carry around a bunch of cards? There is also an on-line and Scrip Wallet program available for your smart phone; once registered, you can reload some gift cards, order new cards or get immediate downloads straight to your computer or phone while standing in line to check out!
