Kroger Rewards Posted

Hello Trailblazers!

It appears that Kroger has now posted the last quarters’ community rewards to our accounts. I need for you to do 2 things:
1) Go into your Kroger Reward History and let me know the amount you were credited for last quarter
2) Let me know if you had any other cards registered to Trailblazers (like friends or relatives), and let me know their total as well.

The ONLY information that Kroger sends me is the TOTAL number of participants and the TOTAL amount allocated to us as a group. I have NO WAY of applying any of that to you unless you tell me. I know that there has been some confusion and that some of you did not access previous quarter amounts. That’s OKAY – please at least let me know IF you participated at all and the amount you have posted. I will do some sort of ratio allocation to everyone who participated so that you still get some credit for it.

The DEADLINE for getting the above info to me will be THIS FRIDAY, September 18. At that time I will tally it all up and allocate it to the individual families to go with the amount that your players have earned through the other fundraising opportunities. I will just send the info to the fundraising committee.

See you all soon. Go Blazers!

Fundraising Deadline

The fundraising deadline is September 21st.

Those who sell over $200 will be entered into a drawing:

First Prize $50

Second Prize $35

Third Prize $25

This prize will be in the form of a gift card, chosen by the recipient. Gift cards will be presented at the first home game.

Thank you for the good work you’ve done in fundraising for Trailblazers Basketball!

Car Wash Volunteers Needed

Tomorrow’s car wash does not currently have enough volunteers. Please contact Jennifer Earnhart as soon as possible if you can work tomorrow. There will be another car wash opportunity on the 19th as well. This is a great opportunity to earn some money for your tournament fundraising goal. We are especially in need of JV/Varsity players for tomorrow’s schedule.

Last Day for Kroger Registration

TODAY is the LAST DAY to register your Kroger card with the Western Kentucky Trailblazers for our team to receive a percentage of the sales of our members. Please go to the website and sign up TONIGHT!
Also, please forward your quarterly total to me if you haven’t already done so. Tomorrow you will have your next quarter’s total posted. I will need for you to send that to me, as well. Whether you have your total from the previous quarters or not, please send me an email if you had your card/cards registered throughout last year so I can allot some credit to you towards your fundraising total. I also need to know if you had any friends/relatives who registered their cards with us. You are more than welcome to have your friends and family join our group. The percentage we get is based on the size of our group.
Have a great night and let me hear from everyone who participated!

Thanks!

Campbell Lane Car Wash has been very generous to let us try to raise some money for our program. They really don’t get anything out of this financially. This is just their way of giving back. So let’s all be sure to thank them and represent the Trailblazers well.
