What is Painless Fundraising?
Some companies or stores offer money to schools from customers’ everyday shopping. Painless fundraising
allows people’s regular shopping to bring money to schools, at no additional cost to customers.
We participate in the following Painless Fundraisers:
BOX TOPS - drop off in the lobby by the front office
CAMPBELL SOUP LABELS - drop off in the lobby by the front office
INK CARTRIDGE RECYCLING – drop off in the lobby by the front office
TARGET CREDIT CARD -
SAFEWAY ESCRIPT - Your grocery bill can make DES money last year we made $785!
GIANT’S A+ BONUS BUCKS - Make DES money off your groceries. Last year ?

Your grocery shopping can help Damascus Elementary School ! Here are two easy ways:
Giant A+ BonusBucks: The PTA will register your BonusCards for Giant’s 2010-11 school program
for Damascus ES. You MUST sign up EVERY school year so schools receive money from
your Giant shopping. Provide your Giant card number below and we will do the work for you or you can do it yourself online at: www.giantfood.com/aplus
Giant card number (12 digits): _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___
Safeway: The PTA will register your Safeway cards with eScrip for Damascus ES or renew your existing eScrip account (if you previously signed up for this program, you MUST renew each school year so Safeway continues to pay). Don't know your Safeway card number? First call 1-877-SAFEWAY to get your card number, then we can enroll you for that school rebate. Or you can do it online at: www.escrip.com
