Recent News
Raising funds for the PKD Foundation is as easy as a trip to the grocery store! Enroll in two local programs who donate a percentage of your sales to fund important research.
Tom Thumb Good Neighbor Program
Every time you shop at Tom Thumb and use your Reward Card, Tom Thumb will donate a percentage of what you spend to the PKD Foundation. You can earn more research money to help treat or cure PKD without doing anything except buying groceries.
Registration is easy! Simply enroll for a Reward Card at the store’s customer service desk and ask to have the PKD Foundation (number 6595) linked to your Reward Card. You can also complete this form and turn it in at the Customer Service desk. Each time you shop and use your Reward Card, Tom Thumb will donate 1% of your purchase to the PKD Foundation.
Kroger Neighbor to Neighbor Donation Program
Kroger Grocery Store’s Neighbor to Neighbor Program allows us to allocate a percentage of what we spend to the PKD Foundation. Everyone who participates in the program in Texas and Louisiana helps support PKD research and education just by doing their shopping! This year’s program goes until April 30, 2013 so if you haven’t signed up, do it today! All you have to do is present the attached letter to your cashier upon checkout at Kroger. The cashier will scan the barcode with the Kroger Plus Card. Once a card is scanned with our Organization's barcode, it will be active for the remainder of the program year of July 1, 2012 - April 30, 2013
Click here to get your letter and start shopping!
