SCRIP

What is SCRIP? Also known as Gift Cards Galore, SCRIP is our name for an MBBC scrip fundraising program. Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”.  When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for our organization. They’re the same gift certificates that you buy  at the store.  Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including JCPenney, The Gap, Shell, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster, Starbucks, HEB, and many, many others.  CLICK HERE for more information.
