Let your holiday shopping work for the Q300 PTA. Buy gift cards to over 70 major retailers and the Q300 PTA gets a percentage of the face value of each card. Download the order form . Act now! Orders are due on Friday, November 19, 2021. [The deadline has been extended to Monday, November 22, 2021].

How does it work?
Choose from 70+ businesses on this form. After you receive your gift card, the Q300 PTA will receive a donation from the card distribution company. The amount will be a percentage of the face value of the gift card. You only pay the face value-just like buying a card at a store.
As you look through the list, see the retailers marked with “$$$”. These provide the largest rebate to the PTA. For example, for every $100 gift card for Lands’ End, the Q300 PTA earns $16. Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic is another great one at $14 for every $100 gift card you order.
Whether it’s for your own family or a gift for someone else, let your shopping help the Q300 PTA. Work in a big office? Consider selling cards to coworkers and bundle them together onto your form like a scout selling cookies. Note: If you do that, we’ll send all the gift cards in your group to you and you will take responsibility for the distribution of those gift cards to the people who bought them through you.

• Orders due by Friday, November 19, 2021
• Orders received after November 19, 2021 may be returned to you
• No credit card orders-sorry, this program is checks only
• Cards will be delivered home with your student the week of December 13, 2021 unless you make special arrangements by emailing fundraising@q300pta.org.
