Shop LOCAL this holiday season with Shop for SFX
In addition to all of the wonderful national companies that you can purchase gift cards through our traditional script program, this holiday season we also wanted to show our love and appreciation to all of our local establishments. The Shop for SFX program has partnered with the LaGrange Business Association to offer our families and parishioners an opportunity for one stop local shopping! Purchase gift cards directly from local La Grange businesses by accessing the following form https://forms.gle/inb8biVQRzRAHDX86.
Most of the LGBA members have offered the gift cards to SFX at a discount. Similar to our script program, SFX receives the difference as profit. Your family has the option of getting 40% of the profit back as a tuition credit or you can choose to return it all to the school.
Please submit your order form by no later than Friday, December 11th. Your gift cards will be delivered directly to you on Wednesday December 16th (please select the time that works best for your delivery). You have two options to pay for your gift cards; by check (return the check to school ATTN: Shop for SFX by no later than Thursday December 10th, as there is no school Friday 12/11) or select the FACTS billing option.
Our local establishments are always so supportive of our fundraising efforts from the Auction to the Falcon 5K. Let’s show them our support this holiday season all while still earning for SFX! Some businesses are donating 20% back to SFX! Incredible!

How do I use the Shop SFX program?
Every few weeks, I reload both my Mariano’s card & my Amazon account so that I get credit for all of those groceries and the Amazon packages that we just can’t seem to get enough of! And more often than I’d like to admit, I find myself waiting in line at other stores (or shopping online) and I check the RaiseRight App to see if I can purchase a digital gift card so that I can use it immediately on my purchase.
How do you use the Shop SFX program?
There are so many ways! You can pay by connecting your checking account, by check (sent into the school) or by credit card! Yes, even credit cards! And so many vendors to choose from! Amazon.com, Starbucks, Apple & iTunes, Gap & Old Navy, Target...Just to name a few!
Not sure what Shop SFX is all about? We are here to help! Email us at ShopForSFX@sfxlg.org for more information.
A special thanks to all of the families that already support Shop SFX!
