Educating the Whole Child:
Mind, Body and Spirit.
What is Together We're Better?
Together We're Better sells gift cards - both online and traditional plastic gift cards - that you can use at various retailers and restaurants rather than using a credit card or cash. Our gift cards are the same as you would find in any store.
How it works:
TWB is an ongoing fundraiser for St. Joseph's PTF. We carry a wide assortment of gift cards in stock or you can set up an online account and purchased your ScripNow! gift cards from your home computer or mobile device. Each merchant sets their own discount to sell their cards. The TWB buys the cards at the discounted rate and sells the gift cards to you at face value. This difference is how the TWB raises its funds.
What happens to the proceeds:
The proceeds - the difference between the face value and the discounted purchase price - is how TWB makes its profit. For any online ScriptNow! gift card purchase, you get to designate where 75% of the proceeds go (see categories below). The other 25% of the proceeds go to PTF. For any traditional (plastic) cards purchased, proceeds are split 50/50 between your designated option and PTF.
You can designate your TWB proceeds to go toward the following categories:
Family Tuition - You can designate your portion of the proceeds to go towards your family's tuition bill. Or, you can choose for your proceeds to go towards another family's tuition.
Tuition Assistance Fund - A fund which helps families in need for tuition. If you would like to know more about this fund, please see the principal.
Building Fund - Proceeds will go towards paying off the balance of the Parish Center loan.
Library - Proceeds will go towards our school library.
Where can I buy the traditional (plastic) gift cards?
During the school week, you can purchase the cards from the School Office. On weekends, the cards are sold after Masses by a TWB volunteer. During the summer, the cards are sold in the Parish Office.
