182 KidCents Charities to be Honored by Rite
Aid Associates
In the spirit of the season, throughout the month of February,
Rite Aid associates across the country will recognize their local
KidCents charities for participating in The Rite Aid Foundation’s
Big Heart Gives Challenge. The special challenge was designed by
The Rite Aid Foundation to help KidCents charities raise awareness,
grow their donor network and earn additional funds for their
organization. In all, The Rite Aid Foundation’s KidCents program
will donate a total of $1,597,500 to 182 KidCents charities.
Rite Aid CEO of stores and President of Rite Aid Corporation,
Ken Martindale, who also serves as president of The Rite Aid
Foundation, will kick off the month-long celebration by presenting
a $12,500 donation to Nativity School of Harrisburg, a privately
run, independent, non-denominational, faith-based preparatory
middle school for inner city boys in Harrisburg today at 10
a.m.
“Our Big Hearts Give Challenge was a fun way for KidCents
charities to earn a donation for their organization while raising
awareness about the valuable work they are doing and expanding
their donor network,” said Martindale. “The Rite Aid Foundation
looks forward to developing other unique opportunities through our
KidCents program to help our partner charities raise much-needed
funds, so that they can continue making a difference in the lives
of the children they serve.”
KidCents was developed by The Rite Aid Foundation to provide
Rite Aid customers an opportunity to do even more to help the kids
in the communities Rite Aid serves. Through KidCents, members of
Rite Aid's wellness+ with Plenti program can round up their
in-store or online purchases to the nearest dollar and give their
change to one of more than 360 nonprofit organizations focused on
improving the health and wellbeing of children.
To participate, Rite Aid customers can sign into their
wellness+ with Plenti account at www.kidcents.com and review
the profiles of approved KidCents charities they can choose to
support. Each charity profile features information about the
organization and the services it provides as well as stories of
those helped by the organization. Once a charity is selected, the
next time the customer shops at Rite Aid, their purchase will be
rounded up to the nearest dollar and their change will be
designated to their selected charity.
Nonprofit organizations interested in participating in The Rite
Aid Foundation’s KidCents program can visit www.kidcents.com/apply
to submit an application. To be eligible, an organization must be
classified as exempt from federal tax under section 501(c)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Service Code and meet the KidCents program
