Support Our Program
Our Theatre Experience of Southern California fundraising programs were put in place to support the children and productions that make our program special: technical excellence in our productions, a safe environment, teaching of positive values and character building, all in a warm, loving, orderly atmosphere. Tuition and fees cover approximately 50% of the cost associated with a TESoCAL participation, and that is why we are asking for your active participation in our programs.
As you will see below, we have tried to make it as easy as possible for you to support these programs, which in turn will result in much-needed support for our programs. Our fundraising efforts will never require our students to sell door to door, and will never require parents to spend money that they would not have already spent.
Our Easy-to-Use Programs
eScrip allows parents, grandparents, and all other supporters of Theatre Experience of Southern California to sign up their grocery-loyalty cards, as well as their debit cards and credit cards so that, with each purchase, the participating merchants can make computerized contributions based upon a percent of your purchase.
Go to www.eScrip.com to register your credit/debit cards. Use our Group ID 500018808. When you use these cards at the hundreds of shops, restaurants and other local merchants enrolled, we receive a donation. Ask your friends and relatives to join, too!
Use your registered debit or credit card(s) when you:
- Shop at local merchants including: Bristol Farms, OfficeMax, Pep Boys, Big 5, Eddie Bauer , Sharper Image and Henry's
- Dine at any of the hundreds of restaurants that participate in eScrip and the Rewards Network (see the enclosed list for a partial local list… there are hundreds more)
- Shop online through the eScrip Online Mall - hundreds of brand name merchants are represented.
Register your Macy's credit card. Their "Shop for Education" program sends money back our way.
Apply for an eScrip VISA card. This great card has no annual fee and competitive rates. No matter where you use it, a percentage comes back to us, and when you use it at an eScrip merchant we get a double value! Please consider this outstanding opportunity.

Employers "Matching Funds" Programs
Many companies provide their employees with a “Matching Funds” program where there will match any monies you donate or spend with TESoCAL while other programs offer “Volunteer Hours” where they will pay us a calculated sum for the hours you spend volunteering with TESoCAL. Please check with your HR department and find out if your company provides these great community programs.
