Comments Off on Redemption

Redemption is an entire category of fundraising that includes clipping Box Top points and Campbell’s Soup Labels, as well as signing up with stores so that a portion of your purchases go back to our school.

Here are five quick and easy ways to help generate money for Byrom.

  1. Target – Take Charge of Education program. By linking your Target Red Debit or Credit card you can earn 1% of the purchases for the school. Log onto: https://rcam.target.com/ . It only takes a couple minutes to complete.
  2. Haggen’s – Link your Haggen’s card at http://www.haggen.com/grow-community/school-bucks/. Look for items with the “School Bucks” symbol. These are the items that will generate money for the school. Please make sure you give them your Haggen’s card or phone number before they start scanning your items or else they will have to rescan every item or we won’t get credit for the purchases.
  3. Fred Meyer/Kroger – you can also link this account at: fredmeyer.com/communityrewards. Fred Meyer will donate to us based on the number of cards linked to our school and the amount spent.
  4. Labels for Education – Collect UPC’s and beverage/sauce caps from participating products to earn points that can be redeemed for Free educational merchandise. Examples of products are Campbell’s, BIC, Prego, Swanson, Daminals, Pop-Secret, V8, Pace, Post, Gold Fish ,Danonino and Glad. You can view a complete list at www.labelsforeducation.com.
  5. Box-Tops – This is another very easy way to earn money for our school and only takes a few moments of your time. We raised over $2000 last year out of this program. Look for Box Tops on participating products, clip them (if you can cut them along the lines it will save us hours of time) and bring them into school.
