Supporters of the program simply credit their receipts to participating schools by presenting them to Galleria at Sunset Guest Services Center or by submitting online.
Additional points can be earned periodically by shopping at specified stores, attending special Galleria at Sunset events, as well as promoting the Sunset Students program online. Cash prizes will be awarded at the end of the program based on total points earned throughout the school year.
