BACK TO SCHOOL SALES
We are now registered to be a part of the Office Depot back to school program. This program is active year round and not just at the start of school. When you make any purchases (school supplies, computers, all technology including personal digital assistants (PDA’s), all furniture items and furniture accessories, some bulk packaged products, and toner cartridges) 5% of the sale will go to Brighten in form of a gift card that can be used in the store for product.
It’s as easy as making your purchase and telling the cashier our school ID #70212159. 
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION
We are now "officially" registered with Box Tops for Education. You may visit the website www.Boxtops4Education.com and register under Brighten Academy’s name. There are 3 ways to help Brighten fundraise when it comes to box tops:
CLIP BOX TOPS FROM YOUR FAVORITE BRANDS!
The original Box Tops program keeps getting better! As always, you can find the familiar 10¢ Box Tops coupon on hundreds of your family’s favorite products from General Mills. And now, you can find Box Tops on Ziploc® and Kleenex® products, too! We can raise as much as $20,000 per school year just in box top collections.
SHOP YOUR FAVORITE ONLINE STORES! At the Box Tops Marketplace, you can shop at over 60 online stores including JCPenney and Lands’ End. Whenever you start your shopping trip at the Marketplace, a portion of every qualifying purchase is automatically donated to your school – all at no additional cost to you! We can raise as much as $20,000 just through the shopping program.
Earn cash for your school with every purchase you make with the BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION Visa® CARD you can make a bigger difference every day. It’s unlike any other card you carry because your school will earn a full 1% cash back on every purchase you and other cardholders make (up to $20,000). Use your Box Tops Visa® card at over 20 million locations worldwide for everyday purchases like groceries, gas or dinner out –it’s just that easy!
