Every time you load up your card to purchase gas, prescriptions or groceries at participating stores, Ascend Performing Arts will receive 5% of the total amount back! 

This is an easy way to make money for Ascend and your favorite ensembles, while doing something you’d be doing anyway—buying groceries!
