Order “bucks” from the Shul office in advance of your purchase and help CBSBG raise a lot of money! The “bucks” also make great presents!

“Bucks” are gift certificates or gift cards to specific retailers who sell them discounted to the Shul. This is a wonderful fundraiser that will cost you, the congregant, nothing extra. Start buying your “bucks” today!  Click here to get an order form and see details of the different “bucks”.
