Fundraising opportunity for the Lakota East Upbeat Club.
Our new scrip program allows you to purchase gift cards and gift certificates through the LEUC. The gift card costs the same amount as in the store, but the company rebates a portion of the purchase price to LEUC. Example – KFC $5 certificates are available for $5 each – this certificate has a 9% rebate, so the Upbeat Club pays only $4.55, i.e. each KFC $5 gift certificate nets $0.45 which is split between the student’s account and the LEUC.
