Cash Card Fundraiser

Forms Due: Jan 14th
Card Pickup: Jan 24th

We are excited to introduce a great Fundraising Campaign. This campaign is a little different - it will not cost you any more money than you would normally spend for your family!

The PAC will sell 'gift cards' from large, well known retailers. You can buy them to use in your daily purchasing, just as you would use cash, or use them as gifts for friends and family. Funds raised will be put towards supporting the school, purchasing supplies, special projects and events.

If families are willing to pre-purchase gift cards for their normal household items from participating retailers, the school will earn from 1-10% of the face value of the gift cards. Eg. If you order a $100 gift card for groceries, that pays a 3% commission, the PAC will raise $3 and you will receive the full $100 dollar value in groceries.

How the Program Works
1. You will be supplied with an order form (translation).
2. Determine which cards you would like to purchase in what denominations.
3. Return the completed order form in an envelope with a cheque payable to Dr. A.R. Lord PAC
4. Pick up your order within one week of order placement.

Orders will be available for pickup prior to the Lunar New Year so put in your order for gifts, or plan to purchase your groceries for the festivities with gift cards.

We hope to offer this program on a regular basis. Let’s all participate by just pre-planning our regular household purchases at retailers offering to support our school.

If you have any questions or did not receive an order form please contact the PAC Executive or speak to a Class Parent.
