Discount Card Time!

Ahoy Mateys! It’s Discount Card time! 

Orders open today, August 20 and run through September 17. 

 

Discounts cards are our main fundraiser for Bear PTA. We ask each student to sell 5 cards or “Just Give” $50. This is how we are able to put thousands of dollars back into our AMAZING school!  These cards sell themselves with discounts from so many fabulous, local businesses. 

 

Like everything else, this will look a bit different. Here are your options for selling and buying: 

 

1) Pre-order Discount Cards through Bear PTA Memberhub Store to be mailed* directly to you for $11 each. 

 

2) Pre-order Discount Cards through BearPTA Memberhub Store and choose a designated pickup date** for $10 each. 

 

3) On Site Purchasing with Cash/Check at any Pickup Day and receive your cards immediately.  

 

4) Just Give to the Bear PTA through the Bear PTA Memberhub Store in any amount if selling cards isn’t something you’d like to do. 

 

*Pre-ordered cards will be mailed each Tuesday beginning August 25th. 

**all pickups will be in the Bear Carpool circle on Churchill Drive. 

 

Pickup Dates and Times:

Wednesday, August 26th 5:30pm-6:30pm

The top seller will win a Nintendo Switch Lite.

For every 10 cards sold, the student will get his or her name entered in a drawing for a $100 Visa Gift Card.  (If you sell 30 cards, your student's name will be entered in the drawing three times).
