Box Tops for Education

Earn cash for Hackett School by clipping 10¢ box tops from hundreds of products. You can drop off the box tops at the school or bring them to one of our meetings.


Target RedCard


If you have a Target store credit card, you can designate 1% of your spending at Target to be rebated to Hackett. This is basically free money for the school! Follow this link to Target Take Charge of Education.
