GBA Fundraising
Do you want to support a good cause? A cause that will help develop students into outstanding citizens within our community? There are many ways to help raise funds for Gateway Baptist Academy. Funds raised are used for the equipment and programs offered by Gateway Baptist Academy. Look at how you can be a part.
1. Participate in the “Box Tops for Education Program”. This program is more than simply collecting box tops- you can now also shop online and raise funds for GBA. Log on to www.boxtops4education.com for more information.
2. Participate in the “Labels for Education Program” by collecting your Campbell Soup labels and other related products. You can turn in your labels to the school office. For more information about this program, log on to www.labelsforeducation.com.
3. Shop at Albertson’s grocery store. As a part of their Community Partners program, Albertson’s will give a percentage of what you spend to GBA. You must have Community Partner Card. To receive a card, please contact the school office.
4. Shop at Fry’s grocery store. With the Cool Cash program the store offers, a percentage of what you spend will be designated to the school. To participate, simply stop by the school office for a bar code. This bar code will be linked by a cashier to your Fry’s V.I.P. card. And that’s it! Every time you use your V.I.P. card, it registers the purchases you make which helps raise funds for GBA.
5. Shop at Fresh & Easy and save your receipt. Here’s how the Shop for School program works. For every $20 spent at the store, $1 will be donated to GBA- but we must have the receipts. A box for Fresh & Easy receipts can be found in the lobby area of Desert Gateway Baptist Church as well as the school offices of Gateway Baptist Academy. This program ends on December 31, 2009. We are also hosting a Shop for School night on Thursday, December 10th from 4-8 p.m. at the Gilbert location on the southwest corner of Greenfield and Warner. A portion of the proceeds from the store during that time period will be designated to our school.
6. See’s Candy Sales. Throughout the year, students will be selling some See’s candy products. How can you go wrong with a product like See’s?
7. Chick-Fil-A Spirit Nights. Come and have dinner with us at Chick-Fil-A. A percentage of the restaurant’s profit will be donated to our sports program. Join us on Thursday, January 21st from 5-8 p.m. at the Chandler location on the southwest corner of Gilbert and Germann.
8. Rubio’s Fiesta Fundraiser. Support GBA’s sports program by simply dining at the Chandler location of Rubio’s Fresh Mexican Grill, located on the southwest corner of Gilbert and Germann.
9. GBA Booster Club. Catch the athletic spirit of Gateway Baptist Academy! Depending on the membership level you purchase, you can enjoy the privileges of being a GBA Lions fan.
