Synchronized Skating Teams
Rhythm & BladesSCRIP Fundraiser InfoOrder FormEnrollment Form SCRIP means substitute money. When you purchase SCRIP, you are purchasing negotiable gift certificates that are used just like cash. The scrip is issued by the national and local retailers where many of us already shop. These merchants want to support non-profit organizations, (RFSC is non-profit), and in return ask you to support them by shopping with SCRIP at their stores. You can use SCRIP for everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials; and with every purchase, you earn revenue for the Rhythm & Blades Synchronized Skating Program. The Great Lakes Scrip center acts on behalf of non-profit organizations to purchase large amounts of SCRIP from grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers. Because the SCRIP is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount. Your organization buys the SCRIP from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to your organization members for full face value. The bulk of the discount - from two to fifteen percent or more - is retained by your organization as revenue. The reason for the effectiveness of SCRIP is simple: families generate revenue through purchases they would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip. Those families with no synchro skaters may choose to designate a synchro skater to receive the individual credit or have the full profit remain in the general scrip account. To get started, complete the family registration form with your first order, both of which are on this website. Orders may be turned in at the office.
