CHS PTSA Fundraisers

The PTSA is funded mainly by eScrip and other store rebate programs. These fundraisers are FREE to you and only require a few minutes of your time to enroll.

Here's how it works: You register the appropriate card - grocery store club card or credit card, and then shop as usual. Whenever you swipe your card at participating stores, 1 to 4 percent of your purchase is donated to the Clairemont High School PTSA. Below are the rebate programs we participate in and our non-profit identification numbers. Invite your friends, co-workers and relatives to support Clairemont High - they can even be in another city or state!
