What is RaiseRight?

RaiseRight is a gift card resale program the Joplin Area Catholic School’s families and friends can participate in online and in person. The gift cards are worth exactly what you pay for them but by purchasing them through JACS, you generate revenue that can be used for tuition and for support of the school. Instead of paying with cash or credit, you use gift cards purchased through RaiseRight and earn money for your school by purchasing regular household items.
