Fundraising
Since we are a nonprofit organization, we rely on donations and fundraising in addition to tuition to fund our programs. Check back here during the year to find out about current and upcoming fundraising activities.  Bookmark this page!!!
Shop & buy from these links and B'nai Simcha gets up to 15% of each sale. Pass this on to your friends and family. (In order for us to get the credit, you have to go through these links when you make your purchase.)

Available Scrip & how it works:  

Scrip enables you shop and eat like you normally do at places you normally solicit, with a percentage of each of your purchases going B'nai Simcha. It is so easy! Here are the different types of scrip:
Register your Ralphs club card via the Ralphs website and select B'nai as your selected organization by inputting the NPO# as 83278.  Our school will receive 1 - 4% of purchases (depending on how much you spend on a monthly basis). Family and friends can enroll as well! Important: This is a new system from Ralphs; even if you have previously been signed up, please renew on the website!!!

Register your grocery cards, gas cards, and credit/debit cards with eScrip, and a percentage of your purchases will be donated to B'nai Simcha by participating merchants. eScrip's biggest local merchant is Vons, which gives back about 3% of purchases. Other participating merchants include Office Max, Zany Brainy, Orchard Supply Hardware, Baja Fresh, Bristol Farms, Hows Market, Macy's and Big 5. To register B'nai Simcha as your educational beneficiary, log on to www.escrip.com, register yourself and any credit cards and your Vons Club card, and designate "B'nai Simcha Preschool" (ID #136559322) as your beneficiary. Important: Vons and Safeway are requiring yearly renewals of their cards. If you use Safeway and Vons Club cards, please take a moment to reregister your card at www.escrip.com!

Scrip gift cards
Scrip gift cards are slightly different than the scrip described above in that you buy them in advance --from the school office. They are then used like a gift card for the respective merchants. B'nai makes up to 12% from this scrip. Check out Great Lakes Scrip for the full list of merchants. Let Judy know if there is scrip from this list you want to buy and it can be ordered; additionally, we will be making mass order several times during the school year! These merchants are always available from the office:
