Band Bucks

What are Band Bucks?

Band Bucks (also called SCRIP) is a gift certificate. It is accepted the same as cash so it should be secured just as you would secure your cash. Parents can purchase band bucks from the band and color guard to be used at any of the participating HAGGENS and FRED MEYER.

How are Band Bucks accepted in the stores? 

They are accepted the same as cash with the exception that 95% of the amount of the certificate must go towards store purchases,

How does the FHS Band earn money through the program?

The Ferndale Band/Color Guard will have to purchase minimum amounts of certificates from Haggens at a 5% discount and will then resell them at face value. For example, when you purchase a $50 card, the band will have paid $47.50 for it, therefore earning 5% for the band.

How can this help the Ferndale Band and Color Gaurd students?

Because the average family spends about $300 per month on groceries, if just the band family's used band bucks for their monthly grocery purchases the program could generate approximately $17,000 a year. Of course this number could be much higher if your family, friends, co-workers or neighbors that shop at Haggens also purchased Band Bucks.



Purchasing your Band Bucks is just a phone call or email away.

Band Bucks over the summer can email Renetta at renetta_pollock@hotmail.com or call her at 371-5483

Please remember that these are treated like cash and can not be replaced if lost or stolen.
