Passive Fundraising Programs

Last year, PCY raised $9,700 through passive fundraising programs. All it takes is a little time on your part to register your cards and sign up. By far most of the dollars raised from this program are through escrip (VON's) and Ralph's purchases. Please take the extra ten minutes and register for these programs -- its easy and painless, and means a lot for our school!

Details by program are listed below:

eScrip

Register your grocery cards, gas cards and/or debit or credit cards with eScrip, and a percentage of your purchases is donated to Paradise Canyon by participating merchants. eScrip's biggest local merchant partner is Vons, which gives back about 3% of purchases. Other participating local merchants include Office Max, Chevron, Baja Fresh and Big 5.

The amount contributed to Paradise Canyon is based on an accelerated scale as follows::

1% On Monthly Purchases Between $0-$300; 2% On Monthly Purchases Between $300-$500; Plus 3% On Monthly Purchases Between $500-600; Plus 4% On Monthly Purchases Above $600

An Example:
If your monthly purchases totaled $525.00 your donation earned would be $7.75 $300 x 1% + $200 x 2% + $25 x 3% = $7.75

To register Paradise Canyon as your educational beneficiary, log on to www.escrip.com, register yourself and any/all specific credit cards you may use to make purchases, and designate "Paradise Canyon Elementary School " (ID No. 137607553) as your educational beneficiary. Each time you use the registered cards, Paradise Canyon benefits from your purchases.

If you are already signed up for eScrip, don't forget to keep your credit card information current: if your card expires, you need to notify eScrip or your donations will cease.
