EGAN FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES:
• ESCRIP: "FREE" MONEY FOR EGAN?
The eScrip program allows you to contribute to the Egan PTA automatically, at no cost to you, just by shopping as you normally would!
With eScrip, you register your Safeway Club card (and, optionally, your debit and credit cards) and name Egan as a recipient of your contributions. Once registered, any purchase you make at participating retailers automatically contributes a percentage to the Egan PTA. Your purchases are tracked automatically by the program, and you can go online anytime to check your account and see how much money you are earning on your child's behalf!
Enroll Online or change your beneficiary school to Egan. Our group name is Egan Intermediate School. From there, you can find specific links to become a new member, renew your membership, or change your account to include “Egan” as a recipient.
You must reregister your Safeway card each year to continue your contributions. Please take a moment to log on to your account to verify that your information is correct.
Please note: If you already support another group such as an elementary school and would like to continue doing so, you can add Egan as an additional recipient. (You can support up to three “groups” simultaneously and designate what percentage of your contribution goes to which group.)
The money raised through eScrip is used to enhance the educational programs at Egan. Signing up for the program is FREE, so please sign up to support Egan today!

• MAGAZINE DRIVE
Magazine Drive at Egan webpage
The fall magazine drive is Egan School's only major fundraiser. We sell new and renewed magazine subscriptions to earn money for Egan and to win exciting prizes. The student council uses the funds for school needs such as materials for the electives program, the physical education program, the school library, noon league activities, school dances, tutorial programs, equipment and campus improvements.
