Kroger ShareCard Program
The Lone Star Symphonic Band is enrolled in the Kroger Share Card program. This is a program where Kroger grocery stores donate money to various non-profit organizations. A small card is issued and the card is scanned when it is presented at the checkout. One percent of the total sale is then donated to the organization on the card. It may not sound like much, but it does add up. This is an easy and painless way to donate to a worthy organization!
If you would like to participate, please send us your mailing address by email and we will put a Share card in the mail for you to use. Remember, this is a very easy way to donate. The hard part is in remembering to present the card at checkout!
Randall's Good Neighbor Program
The next time you're at Randall's, pick up a Remarkable Card application at the courtesy booth to fill out and link your card to our account. Randalls will pay us a percentage of our account total, so be sure to use your card every time you shop.
By using your card, you will also be eligible for exclusive discounts, giveaways, enter-to-wins, direct mail rewards and Airmiles.
For more information about contributions and other financial related material, please email our Band Treasurer: stephenj@lonestarsymphonicband.com
