FUNDRAISING FOR YOUR STUDENT MUSICIAN & BOPS
Fundraising
Every BOPs fundraiser directly supports Haverford instrumental music students. The money pays for uniforms, spare practice instruments, scholarships, community outreach, and your own student’s trip account. Taking part is one of the easiest ways to help both the music department and your musician.
How Your Student’s Trip Account Grows
When you buy grocery scrip or RaiseRight gift cards through BOPs, half of the rebate BOPs earns goes into your musician’s trip account. That money can be applied to BOPs dues, middle school and high school trips, and senior banquet tickets.

To help offset the cost, we’re launching a fundraiser for your student’s trip account. Whether you’re just getting started or building on what’s already there, it’s a great way to help pay for the experience of a lifetime.
Grocery Scrip: Everyone Buys Groceries
Raise money doing something you already do, and watch it add up fast.
Grocery scrip are gift cards for local grocery stores. You pay face value and spend them like cash at checkout. Every purchase builds your student’s trip account and supports music programs across the Haverford Township School District.
BOPs sells scrip year-round for:
-
Giant
-
ShopRite
-
Acme
-
Colonial Village ($25 cards)
-
Young’s Produce on Eagle Road ($5 coupons)
Cards come in $50 and $100 denominations unless noted above. For every $100 in scrip you buy, $3 goes to your student’s trip account and $2 goes to the BOPs General Fund.
Wawa hoagie coupons: BOPs also sells $6 Wawa hoagie coupons, and $2 from each one goes straight to your student’s trip account.
Where to buy: Scrip is sold at every band and orchestra concert. You can also order grocery scrip or Wawa coupons by emailing Rachel Birch at groceryscrip@hhsmusic.org.
RaiseRight Gift Cards
Use gift cards for everyday shopping, birthdays, and holidays. They work anytime you or your family will spend money at one of the hundreds of participating stores and online retailers. Each brand earns a different rebate, which is listed on the RaiseRight website and app. Half of every rebate goes to your student’s trip account, and the other half goes to the BOPs General Fund, although most years, the board votes to credit 100% of November and December rebates to student trip accounts. Watch the BOPs Email Blast for confirmation each fall.
Participating brands include CVS, Target, Staples, Macy’s, Bath & Body Works, Boscov’s, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Lands’ End, L.L.Bean, PetSmart, and hundreds more.
Three ways to buy:
-
E-gift cards arrive in your email right away, with no waiting.
-
Reloadable cards (such as CVS, Acme, and gas cards) are bought once through BOPs, then reloaded anytime from your computer or phone.
-
Physical cards are ordered monthly. Ordering deadlines: check back for updates.
