Kroger Card
Fundraising Kroger
provides a fundraising opportunity for non profit groups to benefit from
friends and family that shop at Kroger.
Madison Band Parent Boosters have signed up for this opportunity. How it works The
student purchases a Kroger card from the Madison Band Parents Boosters for
$5. The card will have a $5.00
value. The Boosters will record the card
registration number and the student it was sold to. The
student or their family can “charge” the card at the Kroger service desk, up to
$500. About
15 minutes after the “charge”, the card may be used at the Kroger checkout to
purchase items from Kroger. Kroger
tracks the amount each card is “charged”. When
the total charges of all the cards purchased by Band Members reach $5,000, the band
gets a check for 4% of the $5,000, or $200.
After the first $5,000 plateau, a check is sent every time another
$5,000 plateau is reached. Kroger
will send the Boosters a quarterly statement of each card number and the amount
charged to that card. Very Important The card can and should be
recharged at the Kroger service desk. Upon
recharging, the band will get the credit toward the next $5,000 plateau. New cards do not have to be purchased for the
band to get the credit. The band gets
credit when the card is recharged. Fair Share For
the 2006/2007 school year, the Boosters will track and apply 100% of the Kroger
fundraising moneys to the student’s future band fees. If
the student is in Junior High School, the Boosters will track the band fees
until the student joins band in High School and the surplus will be applied to
their band fees. A Junior High Student
could collect enough funds to completely pay for their High School Band fees. Other Stuff Due
to tax implications, the Madison Band Boosters can not refund any moneys that
the student and their family accumulate and the do not use toward future band
fees. Any moneys not used (due to
students dropping out of band or raising more funds than needed for fees) will
be applied toward the band general fund. Families
with more than one student in band may apply the moneys between their family
members. Families
may purchase more than one Kroger card.
The Boosters will track the students purchasing the cards as the method
of fund allocation. In other words, the
use of the card need not be limited to the student’s immediate family. The
percentage of Kroger fundraising moneys applied to the student’s future band
fees may change in the future as Kroger or the Boosters change the program. More
information is available at http://kroger.com/mykroger/ms/community.htm This is a different program
than the Scrip cards. Scrip cards should
NOT be recharged, but reordered. The
band gets the profit upon order of the initial Scrip card. Thanks
for your support. Madison
