S is for Save for your School

Here’s how it works? From August 31-November 29, 2009 all Sweetbay stores will issue “School Dollars” certificates at the register to customers who purchase selected products marked with a Support Schools tag.  These school dollars will be issued in the form of a coupon that prints along with your register receipt. Collect these school dollars throughout the promotional time period and redeem them for cash towards your school.

D is for Dollars

Look for Sweetbay Supports tags on participating products throughout the store or click here for a complete list.

     a. Buy 3 Supports Schools products = $2 School Dollars

     b. Buy 6 Supports Schools products = $4 School Dollars

     c. Buy 9 Supports Schools products = $6 School Dollars (and so on)

Drop off school dollars at the collection box in the designated school slot at the front of Sweetbay or drop off school dollars at the local school of your choice through December 11th.   

At the end of the promotion, the “School Dollars” will be redeemed for real dollars with a check issued to each school in February 2010.  The top 10 registered schools that raise the most “School Dollars” will receive an additional $1,000 grant from Sweetbay.
