OptionC Partners with Aquinas and More for new fundraising
& tuition credit Catholic shopping website- in time for the Christmas
Shopping Season
ROCHESTER, NY (December
9, 2008) – OptionC
Inc., providing top Catholic Schools with the most comprehensive and
state-of-the-art Catholic focused school management system, electronic fund
tuition transfer services with 24 hour tuition deposits, magazine fundraising
and Catholic book fair services, announced today a partnership with Aquinas and
More.
In an effort to help
Catholic schools maintain or increase enrollment, OptionC has partnered with
Aquinas and More Catholic Goods for a new tuition credit & fundraising
website. Every purchase made on www.OptionCMart.com
will provide quarterly checks payable to the school. The school, may then apply
all or a portion for tuition credit.
With over 17,000 Aquinas
and More products online, www.OptionCMart.com
provides a tremendous opportunity for parents to receive tuition credit and at
the same time, provide a new fundraising source for the school. OptionC will
enable Catholic schools to realize revenue sources that would otherwise not
have been available. Aquinas and More is the first OptionCMart partner
for a portal site that will provide many types of products and services.
Schools will receive a portion of every purchase made from any of these
partners.
All Catholic schools may
benefit from this online shopping portal. OptionC member schools will
have the added benefit of integrated tracking and reporting within their
Catholic focused School Management System. The amount of the school
refund that is applied as tuition credit is determined by each Catholic
school. Tuition credit will only apply for Aquinas and More products
purchased through www.OptionCMart.com.
OptionC has added
functionality that will enable the parents and students to email their family
and friends so their purchases may also benefit the school and the
student.
All non OptionC customers
must register first with OptionC in order for credit to be applied.
