RAISE FUNDS FOR CRYSTAL CREDITS WITH SCRIP!
Pam Schaible will be managing the Scrip fundraiser this year for the OSC. This is an excellent way to earn money for your skater's account (Crystal Credits),
using the same money you were going to spend anyway! You simply purchase gift cards as gifts - which I know is very popular - or use them for your own purchases.
The company then gives a rebate on the face value of the card. It is very easy to do. In addition it will help the Club, so please try to use them, even if you don't need
money for Crystal Credits. Pam will be trying to build up the program this year, as it can help ALL of us. You can also encourage your family to use the cards - just have
them use your skater's name when they sign up.
NEW this year - Pam will be ordering once each month on the FIRST OF EACH MONTH. Pam will stick firmly to this deadline so we will have
the shortest turnaround time possible.

General Fundraising Info
Each year OSC tries to find fundraisers that will offer something for everyone. There are two types of
fundraisers. The first is a club fundraiser. This will earn money for our general club fund. This money is
essential to running our club. We are a non-profit club, but we still have operating expenses. Some items
that are purchased with this club-raised money are our OSC website fees, PayPal online payment fees, as well as other odds and ends. Our greatest club fundraiser is the Holiday Show.
The majority of our fundraisers earn so-called Crystal Credits that
are used towards team fees and travel
expenses. In the past we've had skaters who have paid a large part or even all of their
skating fees with fundraising! That is why we offer so many fundraising opportunities. You can do
them all, or you can do none. It is up to you. The more you do, the less
you have to pay out of pocket. We know that team skating is expensive, and we encourage all to
try and participate in some form of fundraising! If you have any additional ideas,
or would like to help with fundraising, please contact
Angie Meyers (angelaerfmanmeyers@gmail.com).
We are also open to accepting sponsorships and donations. If
anyone is interested in supporting our teams this way, please contact OSC Treasurer
Paula Murray (murraypr@muohio.edu).
Fundraisers that benfit the entire Club
Holiday Show: This is our greatest annual Club fundraiser. Check back for specifics later this fall.
Fundraisers to earn Crystal Credits for individual skaters
Kroger Gift Cards: This is a great way to earn Cyrstal Credits w/o spending anything extra and help the Club at the same time.
It is very easy, just get a gift card from Cathy Leonard (gcl88@fuse.net), load
it with cash or from a credit card, and use it to buy groceries at Kroger. For more details see
