Pep Boys Partners with eScrip to Offer Leading Fundraising Solution
For the families that support schools and other youth programs through eScrip of San Mateo, CA. eScrip's mission is to "Create extraordinary programs for establishing relationships between commerce and community in order to provide resources to organizations that support children." Since its launch in 1999, the eScrip program has allowed merchant partners, such as Pep Boys to contribute over $25 million to youth related groups. ESI expects the eScrip program to raise over $24 million in merchant contributions in 2001. A growing number of over 140 merchant partners participate in the eScrip program, giving consumers a wide variety of places to shop in their efforts to promote the education of our children.
Traditional school fundraising programs often require high set-up costs, individual selling, and time-intensive project administration. The eScrip program eliminates the many hassles associated with school fundraising and thus creates the most efficient and effective fundraising solution. Once a group is registered with eScrip, parents, friends and family can contribute year-round by shopping at participating merchants on and offline.
eScrip enables a school or community group to receive a contribution from everyday purchases. These everyday purchases include automotive services and supplies from Pep Boys.
Ian Diery, President and CEO of Electronic Scrip Inc., the company behind eScrip, said, "Without question, our program is strengthened by the integrity of the Pep Boys brand within the community. Our families will be delighted to have such a trustworthy partner join our program. Who doesn't like Manny, Moe and Jack?"
Both organizations and merchants benefit from eScrip Loyalty Program. By removing the headaches of administration, paperwork, and direct selling, as well as offering families the opportunity to shop at the store and online, the eScrip alliance provides a comprehensive answer to fundraising needs. eScrip coordinator Brenda Weber of Robinson Elementary School in Manhattan Beach, CA sums up the response from many participating schools, "The eScrip relationship enables the true definition of a perfect fundraiser; small effort coupled with high financial return. We have received over $25,000 in contributions through the eScrip program for just swiping our registered cards at participating merchants."
