EASY WAYS TO GIVE

Cash donations are always welcome and appreciated, but there are many ways you can support the Blue Stars simply by making small changes to the way you shop online or search everyday. These simple and easy items cost you no more than normal, but make a big difference to us! Check out the various programs and join one today.

Gift Card Fundraising

What is Gift Card Fundraising? It’s a no-selling program that allows you to raise money for the Blue Stars by using gift cards, (sometimes called scrip), to pay for everyday purchases.

Here's how it works. You buy gift cards from the Blue Stars through RaiseRight and the Blue Stars automatically receive a percentage of your purchase - up to as much as 20%!. It's really that simple. 

When you use scrip gift cards instead of cash, checks, or credit cards at your favorite retailers, you are fundraising while you shop.  Please join us with this easy fundraising program and help us raise much needed funds simply by doing shopping you were already going to do.

You can even buy e-gift cards on demand and access them electronically using your smart phone! 

Rakuten/iGive

Rakuten and iGive are similar to AmazonSmile, but for a much larger selection of retailers across the Internet. Simply sign up for an iGive or Rakuten account, select Blue Stars, Performing Arts for Youth as your designated charity, and start your online shopping from the appropriate site. It’s that easy!
