Each year BBCS Families in K-8 participate in the Scrip Program. Their investment is a minimum of $200 in earnings, profit.
The Scrip year is March 1- February 28 (29).
Once a family has reached their initial goal, they earn 50% of the total earnings for the rest of the current scrip year, the other half goes into the school's general fund. The amount raised is then credited to next year's tuition, a great way for families to decrease their tuition payments and support the school!
Scrip is Fundraising While You Shop®. This amazingly successful fundraising program has worked for thousands of parochial schools including Bishop Baraga Catholic School! Scrip turns everyday shopping into cash for your organization when families use retail gift cards to pay for everyday purchases (like gas and groceries) instead of the usual credit/debit card or other money.

The Basics of our Scrip Program
Our school families, area parishioners and anyone within the community buys retail gift cards through our scrip program at face value.
They choose from nearly 400 national retail stores where they already shop. Please view our Scrip Order From to see what we have on hand almost everyday in the office.
BBCS buys the gift cards at 1-13% less than face value (varies by retailer).
The difference between face value and what the school pays = earnings, profit for our BBCS school, families and churches.
Purchaser can select where their earnings are applied, i.e. one or more BBCS Families; American Martyrs, Immaculate Conception, St. Mary Queen of Peace, St. Mary & St. Joseph Parishes or directly to Bishop Baraga Catholic School.
Here’s an Example
Mrs. Smith needs some gardening supplies, so she buys a $100 The Home Depot® gift card for $100 through her son’s school scrip fundraiser. Cha-ching! She just earned $4 toward her son's tuition here at BBCS because The Home Depot gift cards are available from Great Lakes Scrip Center at 4% less than face value. When Mrs. Smith checks out at The Home Depot, she pays with her gift card instead of using a credit or debit card! She will do the same thing when she needs cleaning supplies at Target®, and earn $2.50 just by using a $100 Target GiftCard to pay for her purchases.
