Saskatoon Concert Band Fundraiser – //Freshco Gift Cards 2020 One of our major fundraisers this year will be selling Safeway/Sobeys/Freshco Gift Cards. You can buy your groceries at Safeway, Freshco or Sobeys and support the Concert Band at the same time!

Safeway/Sobeys/Freshco gift cards have no expiry date. The cards come in denominations of $25, $50 and $100 amounts. They are as good as cash and can be used anytime, at any Safeway/Sobeys/Freshco/IGA/Market Garden store in Western , with the exception of the Sobeys Liquor store. They cannot be used to purchase other gift cards. They operate on a declining balance basis. For example, if you have a $50.00 card and you use it for a $30.00 purchase, there will be a credit of $20.00 left on the card to be used for future purchases.

We are asking each band member to sell $500.00 worth of gift cards, the order forms will be distributed to the Auxiliary Band on October 20th and the Concert Band October 21th, 2020. Our organization will receive 6% on any amount we raise over $10,000.00. If you choose not to sell the Safeway/Sobeys/Freshco gift cards, but would rather complete the “Buy-out option” for $65.00 see payment options. Either way, everyone is asked to participate in this fundraiser, it benefits us all as an organization!

An order form will be emailed to you, please pay by e-transfer (preferred) or cheque only, one e-transfer or cheque for the total sales on the form is preferred. List all the names of individuals that have purchased the cards, their method of payment and cheque numbers if they are paying by cheque made out to the Saskatoon Concert Band. Please review your orders and paperwork to make sure things balance before submitting your order! This saves the fundraising committee many hours!
