For every $20 spent at your local fresh&easy™ Pat Nixon Elementary will get a $1 cash donation. The more you spend at these stores, the more money you can raise for our school.

From the fresh&easy website:

Q: How does Shop for Schools work?

A: Parents and students at each eligible school may collect receipts from purchases made at any fresh&easy store within three miles of their school between September 15 and December 31, 2009. All receipts must be turned in to the school coordinator designated in the registration form. For every $20 spent per visit at one of our fresh&easy stores, the school will receive a $1 cash donation. For example, a single receipt totaling $39.99 is worth $1, while a single receipt for $40.01 is worth $2, but a receipt for $18.50 is not eligible. You cannot combine the total of the receipts.

Q: How much money can our school raise?

A: Your school can raise up to $5,000 and is then eligible for the $5,000 state bonus. If two or more participating schools in a state raise the maximum fundraising amount of $5,000 for submission of receipts, the participating school with the highest dollar value of receipts will receive the $5,000 cash bonus.

Q: Does my school get a benefit for continuing to participate after we reach the $5,000 cap?

A: Yes, keep fundraising! The participating school that raises the most money in California, Arizona, and Nevada, respectively, will receive an additional $5,000 cash bonus. If two or more participating schools in a state raise the maximum fundraising amount of $5,000 for submission of receipts, the participating school with the highest dollar value of receipts will receive the $5,000 cash bonus.

Q: Does the total before coupons count for the total towards points?

A: No, the donation is based on the final amount you pay on the receipt.

Q: What is Shopping Night for Schools?

A: Every school participating in Shop for Schools is eligible to participate in a Shopping Night at fresh&easy. These schools will be assigned a specific date to organize a fundraising Shopping Night. On the designated day, from 4pm to 8pm, the school will receive 5% of the store’s sales. This is on top of the $1 for every $20 spent, which they will already be receiving by participating in the Shop for Schools program!
