Fundraiser for impact program

From the belmont music department
Dear Students and Families,
We are excited to announce that our Belmont Music Department is running a FundScrip Gift Card Fundraising Campaign throughout the month of November (2nd – 27th)!
This is a wonderful opportunity to get a head start on your holiday shopping while also supporting our music program- all at no additional cost to you!How does FundScrip work?
FundScrip allows you to purchase gift cards on-line from a wide variety of popular Canadian retailers, including grocery stores, gas stations, coffee shops, restaurants, clothing stores, home improvement stores, and more.
The gift cards are sold at face value, but a percentage of each purchase (typically 2–10%) is returned to our music department as fundraising revenue.
It’s a win-win! You purchase gift cards for the everyday things you already need (gas, groceries, flights, Starbucks, movies, books, restaurants, black pants for choir and band, etc), use them for holiday shopping or gifts, and help support our music students and program along the way.
Important Campaign Information
- Ordering Details: Use this link to register for an account, click on ‘Support a Group’ and you will receive a confirmation email. Follow the prompts and you’ll soon be able to browse and purchase gift cards online.
https://www.fundscrip.com/support-a-group/LFTYUW
- Share the Link: Once you are logged in, click on Campaigns to share our link on FB or by email.
- Order deadline: November 27 (strongly recommended that you put your finally orders in by 5pm on the 26th to allow for payment processing before the deadline)
- Gift card pickup: The cards will be shipped to the school with plenty of time to pick up before the holidays. An email will be sent out regarding pick up times and arrangements and a few volunteers will be available to hand them out at our Winter Concert!
Please see the attached letter for students interested in approaching businesses that may be keen on purchasing multiple gift cards!
Keep an eye on our socials for ongoing details and highlights of this amazing campaign!
We look forward to seeing you at the Winter Concert and really appreciate your continued support of our music department!
Happy holiday and everyday shopping!
Warmly,
The BMD
