The Kroger Community Rewards Program is the single best method to raise funds that can be applied toward trip related band and orchestra expenses that would otherwise have to be fully paid from your household budget. Through this new program, Kroger has pledged to donate a percentage of sales (up to $ 300.00 per quarter / per family), to families who have pre-enrolled in the new program. This new program replaces the previous plan that required participants to buy gift cards to receive a 5% of the total amount loaded onto the cards The new program streamlines the whole process for receiving funds. Once you are registered, when you use/swipe your Kroger Plus Card (or key ring card) as part of your normal grocery transaction at checkout, a percentage of your grocery bill will be donated. Kroger has pledged to donate $500,000 every 3 months over the next year to charitable organizations through this program. The amount received per quarter will vary with the number of participants registered.

We will still be able to individually track funds accumulated by participating families and family friends – but only if you let the Band Boosters know that you have registered and to which student the funds should be applied. There is no limit to the number of Kroger Plus key tags registered to your students account!

• In the Spring, the total earned in your student’s account will be applied directly towards this year’s Band trip

  Unused funds remain in your student’s account and are rolled over for the following year’s trip.

• You will be amazed at the amount of money you can earn toward your student's trip just by buying your normal groceries!  This is a "Win! Win!" fundraiser.
