Fund Your Child’s Future Orchestra Trips with RaiseRight!

 

 

RaiseRight gives you the power to fundraise all the time, without doing anything more than purchasing gift cards (physical or electronic) to pay for your everyday shopping.  You pay face value for gift cards purchased through RaiseRight – then a rebate is credited to your child’s travel account.  You don’t have to spend money on things you don’t need or sell to friends and relatives.  It’s easy for one family using RaiseRight to raise more than $1,500 in one year.  For example, if you purchase gift cards for the following monthly expenses, your child’s travel account could be credited with $1,674 in one year.

How to Order 

 

When you order from a vendor, like Starbucks, you will see up to three options: 

  • Physical Gift Card
  • eGift Card
  • Reload

Physical Gift Card – we place a group order for physical gift cards a couple of times a year and will deliver them to you or arrange a pick-up time / location.  A shared shipping cost of $11.00 will be divided among those who ordered physical gift cards (reducing the rebate slightly). You may also order certain physical gift cards to be delivered to your home at any time.  However, you will pay the entire shipping charge, which will vary based on the shipping method chosen and the number of cards ordered. 

 

eGift Card – this is a digital gift card that can be purchased anytime and will be delivered to you almost immediately.  For example, you can purchase an eGift Card while you are at a store shopping and have a digital copy immediately on your phone to use at checkout.  This feature works great if you add the RaiseRight app to your phone.  You will find these digital gift cards issued in the RaiseRight app’s online Wallet.  

 

Reload – you can only use this option if you already have a gift card from that vendor and you want to add more money on it.
