Rewards Network Offers Double Contribution Amounts to eScrip Members During Back to School Bonus

Posted on: Thursday, 7 September 2006, 18:00 CDT

Rewards Network, a leading provider of marketing and loyalty programs to the restaurant industry, and eScrip, the leader in school and non-profit fundraising, are offering diners a September Back to School Bonus. For eScrip members who register in advance for the promotion, dine out twice in September, and pay with their registered credit or debit card, Rewards Network will deposit double the typical contribution amount of the total bill for those two dines to the diner's designated eScrip groups. Over 8,400 participating Rewards Network restaurants across the nation are supporting this bonus.

"This is a great way for eScrip members to really make an impact for the groups they support. Rewards Network is very pleased to be a part of the fundraising efforts for schools, youth groups, and other local organizations across the country," said Ron Blake, Rewards Network President and CEO.

Since 1999, eScrip has generated over $150 million in merchant contributions to support youth education. The program, headquartered in San Mateo, California, provides funds to over 35,000 schools and organizations with the largest numbers of supported groups in California, Arizona, and Maryland. Nearly 2 million families benefit from the eScrip offering and, specifically, the eScrip Dining program. As a partner of eScrip, Rewards Network and its participating restaurants have helped the organization raise over $1.5 million in less than three years.

"We commend Rewards Network for their strong financial support of local schools and education. We've truly enjoyed our partnership with the company and thank all the restaurants that have helped support our members and their causes," said eScrip CEO Ian Diery. "We hope our participants will take advantage of this opportunity to help their schools and organizations during September."
