ConSCRIPtion Cadence

I wanna be your scrip fundraiser
I wanna get my 5 percent
I’m gonna make it nice and easy
I’m gonna nag without relent

1,2,3,4 come on down to the scrip store
1,2,3,4 -5 percent’s easy, let’s get more

I wanna get your standing order
You’re gonna be a regular
No more hiding in the corner
I’m gonna make you a scrip star

1,2,3,4 come on down to the scrip store
1,2,3,4 -5 percent’s easy, let’s get more


For those who don't know, Scrip is a fundraiser for non profits where people buy shopping gift cards through us at face value, but we pay less than face value for them. Typically the profit is 5%. I run this for my kids school. The year before me, they made $7K, last year (my first) we made $19.2K, this year I'm going for $25K. I started writing weekly scrip "news" which soon featured cheesy poems. Apparently they are popular and I get requests. this was inspired by regular.joe and his user title.
