New to RaiseRight?  Here is some more information about the program and how it can help reduce fees.

Purchasing RaiseRight Cards

• We all buy gas, food and clothing.  Many of us eat at restaurants regularly (or at least occasionally). We go to the movies. From time to time, we buy a new computer or take on do-it-yourself home improvements. Purchasing RaiseRight– another name for gift cards – is a way to do what we do every day AND raise funds to help pay your student’s band fees as well as help PCMB as a whole.
• Through RaiseRight, more than 750 merchants offer the face value of the gift card AND a contribution ranging from 1.5% to 18% based on the dollar value of the card. Your student’s account receives 75% of the contribution and PCMB gets 25% and any temporary bonuses that are occasionally offered by certain merchants.
• Contributions vary quite a bit. Restaurants typically offer a bigger contribution than a gasoline retailer. Department stores and specialty retailers are all over the lot in what they offer.
• It takes some planning to make RaiseRight work, but if you think about what you need tomorrow and what you may do six months from now, you can really knock down your student’s band fees. 
• Throughout the year, there are specials where some brands increase their rebate percent, and some have cards for smaller amounts ($5, $10).
• Here’s an example of what a typical monthly RaiseRight order might look like:

It doesn’t look like much until you add it up across the months. If you were to place the above RaiseRight order for 12 months, you would reduce your band fees by $418.  When you figure in special events like birthdays, graduations and Christmas presents, it can add up in a hurry. Some people have been able to cover all their band related costs by using RaiseRight.  Even if you don't use the program as extensively as those, you can make a significant dent in your fees.  Friends and family can also utilize the program and assign their contributions to your child’s fees.

The first step is to decide what you want to purchase.  Plan on buying mulch for the yard?  Order a Home Depot card first.  Taking Mom out for dinner on her birthday?  Find her favorite restaurant in the RaiseRight list.  Planning on driving up north?  Purchase a gas card.

Need Your Cards Right Away?

Many brands offer electronic gift cards.  When you place an order for an electronic gift card, as long as you pay either with a credit card, debit card, or from your bank account, the card is available to you within seconds of placing the order. It can then be printed and used just like any physical gift card.
