National Kidney Foundation

There is a new, cheap and easy way to raise money for the National Kidney Foundation. Please read if you are interested. This will also count as fundraising for us for the 2009 US Transplant games in Wisconsin. We will need every penny given that we will be towing the twins, possibly Ryan, Leslie and Connor and maybe some Grandparents! All you have to do is register your Kroger Plus card online for the National Kidney Foundation. If you choose to do this, provide us with your name and Kroger card number so we can also get credit. Details are below.

Kroger Community Reward Program
Kroger has launched a new Kroger Community Reward Program and is dedicating $5,000,000 to it! This program will enable them to help even more organizations, of all sizes. You will earn funds just by using your Kroger Plus Card.

Once you are registered and you make a purchase at Kroger and use your Kroger Plus Card, that purchase will contribute to the National Kidney Foundation Serving Ohio/Team Ohio. In addition, once a household member registers, then all linked Kroger Plus Cards used by family members also begin earning funds for the National Kidney Foundation Serving Ohio/Team Ohio.

It’s simple: you shop, use your Kroger Plus Cards, and the National Kidney Foundation Serving Ohio receives a reward check each quarter, based on the percentage of spending of your group in comparison to that of the other registered organizations. Kroger will award up to $1,250,000 per quarter. Funds are raised for with every transaction you make.

Directions on signing up for Kroger's new Kroger Community Reward Program are below. You must sign up first as a member (free) before registering your Kroger card number to the National Kidney Foundation Serving Ohio.
