Free Money Opportunities for BBCS!
Many retailers recognize the importance of education in their local communities and have
programs that help support that effort. Listed below are a number of businesses that offer cash
back to participating schools when customers use their products. If these are products your
family uses, we urge you to participate and help earn FREE money for Bishop Baraga. These
programs don't cost anything and require only a few seconds of effort. Simply by saving a
scrap of cardboard or paper, or by showing a membership card when you make a purchase,
you can help earn a substantial amount of FREE money for our school. Thank you for making
the extra effort to help support our children's education!

Spartan Brands “Cash for Labels” Program
Simply cut out the UPC code from any Spartan brand product and return it
to the collection box at school. No registration or paperwork is necessary.
Each label is worth 2 cents. While that may not seem like much, all of our
families working together over the course of a school year could raise
several hundred dollars by simply saving a piece of cardboard that would
have ended up in the trash anyway!
Campbell's “Labels for Education” Program
Each proof of purchase from a Campbell's product earns a point total.
These points add up and can be exchanged for free educational equipment,
including art, academic and athletic products. In addition to Campbell's,
several other brands are included in this program, such as Bic, Pop Secret
Popcorn, Swanson Foods, V-8 and Pepperidge Farms. For a complete list
of participating brands, please click on the following:
Gordon Food Service “Fun Funds”
GFS Marketplace specializes in restaurant-quality foodservice products.
Their stores are open to the public seven days a week and do not require a
membership fee. Their “Fun Funds” program is an easy, year-round program
where organizations can earn quarterly rebate dollars. This free program is
based on the collective purchases of all members that sign up and show
their card when shopping at GFS Marketplace.
Target's “Take Charge of Education” Program
Target has a series of charge cards called REDcards. These include the
Target Visa Credit Card, Target Credit Card, Target Check Card or an
eligible Target Business Card. When a customer uses a REDcard to pay
for their purchase, Target donates 1% of the purchase price to the
customer's designated school. Once a year, all the donations are added up
and a “no-strings-attached” check is sent to the school.
For more information on the program, or to track Bishop Baraga's progress,
