PROGRAM OVERVIEW Families at Northwest High School and Pleasant Run Middle School can benefit from Kroger Plus Card purchases It’s as simple as registering your Kroger Plus Card, registering with the Athletic Department, and shopping for groceries

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS Kroger will donate $1.25 million per quarter to participating organizations in the “Greater Cincinnati Region” The amount each organization receives is based on how much the organization’s members spend with their Kroger Plus Card compared to competing organizations

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS A family or “household” can earn a maximum of $300 per quarter ($1200 per year), in the program—this is applied directly as a credit toward the pay-to-participate fee More than one “household” can contribute to a specific student, so the credits can accumulate quickly

EXCEPTIONS Some purchases will not count toward the total amount spent: Fuel and fuel center purchases Alcohol Tobacco Gov’t-assisted pharmacy expenses Postage stamps Kroger gift cards Reloadable gift cards Lottery tickets Money orders Western Union transactions

HOW WE APPLY CREDITS Each family will be assigned a “Family ID Number” Every three months, we will receive a lump sum check from Kroger We also receive a report showing each Kroger Plus Card enrolled with “Northwest High School Athletics” and how much money each card contributed to our total amount

HOW WE APPLY CREDITS We will match up the Kroger Plus Card numbers and amounts with the assigned students The students will then have the corresponding dollar amount applied to their $200 pay-to-participate fee We will issue an invoice showing the amount of credit earned and the balance due Payment in full is required before a student can compete/perform

HOW WE APPLY CREDITS We will publicize a timeline so that families have an idea of when to expect an invoice We will not know a balance until the invoices are generated Credits will be applied to the oldest student in the “Family ID” group participating in a sport/activity at the time the credits are issued

HOW WE APPLY CREDITS Twins/Triplets/Quads participating in the same season will have the credit applied alphabetically Divorced/separated/blended families are required to have one “Family ID” (in other words, a specific student cannot appear on multiple “Family ID’s”) Multiple “households” CAN contribute to a “Family ID”

HOW WE APPLY CREDITS If a student does make a team in a “cut” sport, that credit will remain with the “Family ID” for a younger sibling to use immediately, or it may be used in a subsequent season If a student is injured, removed from, or quits the team, the credit for that particular activity is forfeited

CARRY-OVER All credit will carry over to the next school year as long as the “Family ID Number” continues to have a student participating in grades 7-12 If a student graduates with a balance on their “Family ID,” that balance will be applied to the next oldest sibling with their next sport/activity, provided that said sibling will be in at least 7th grade

CARRY-OVER If at graduation, a student has a balance and no other siblings are listed in that “Family ID,” the balance will be absorbed by the Athletic Department All contributing households have to re-enroll their Kroger Plus Card to support Northwest High School Athletics by May 1 of each year After graduation, families are encouraged to continue to support Northwest High School Athletics by re-enrolling their Plus Card annually
