Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”.  When you purchase scrip from TWB, you’re purchasing negotiable 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.

TWB buys the scrip from various organizations at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to families like yours for full face value.  The discount ‑ from two to fifteen percent or more –  is our organization’s revenue.  Calculate for yourself! If each family spends only $50 per week on groceries, and $600 a year on gifts and entertainment, that totals $3200 per year. If Together We're Better certificates were used to make these purchases, we would receive $128.00!

Scrip is a popular fundraiser because families don’t have to sell anything.  Organization members produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would make anyway.  Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip.  Kohl’s and Penney’s charge cards can be paid with these gift cards.

The order form (see link below) can be used to order scrip.  TWB representatives are also available after most masses at St. Teresa Church; they have commonly requested certificates in stock for immediate sale.  If you have any questions about this program, please contact one of the program coordinators listed below.  Then put your shopping dollars to work for our school!
