Thinking of a way to thank your employees and clients, or promote your company?
Did you know that you could make your employees and clients smile and the same time you are making valuable contributions to the KMHS Campus every time you buy Raise Right gift cards?
There are e-gift card bonuses of up to 20% off for a last-minute gift for employees or clients through DECEMBER 18!
“I am going to use the gift cards I bought to help market my company… and I’ll be buying more!” ~Nick S.
"This was such an easy way to support the high school! Most of us are buying gift cards for the holidays and everyone needs to fill up their gas tank, so why not purchase a reloadable Mobil or Kwik trip gas card and support the school at the same time!" ~Caroline N.
