Introducing The Caring Club
Tuesday August 31st, 2010
At United Way of Elgin, we are constantly looking for new ways to both thank our donors and recognize their contributions to the Elgin community. This year, we are starting an exciting program to both show our appreciation and to help our residents and donors rediscover everything this community has to offer. The Caring Club© program provides a discount card to United Way donors who make a donation of at least $156 ($3 a week) to the Community Fund. The card will offer discounts from local merchants on a wide range of goods and services, from restaurants to oil changes to haircuts.
This national program was founded by the United Way of Greater Kansas City as a way to thank donors year-round for their commitment to United Way. The United Way of Elgin decided to join the program this year because we feel it is tremendously important to let our donors know that we appreciate their gift not just during the active campaign season, but every single day of the year.
The program itself is simple: when a donor makes a gift to United Way’s Community Fund (non-designated) of $156 or more, they will be eligible to enroll in the Caring Club©. They will receive a plastic card and key tag, which will entitle them to discounts at many local businesses. All they have to do is show their card at participating locations!
For just $3/week, you can enjoy discounts at the following location establishments:
Books at Sunset
Brittain's Oil Change
Card N' Camera
Elgin Books
Elgin Public House
First Family Dental
In The Neighborhood Deli
Primavera Salon
Quizno's (Downtown Elgin)
Salon Couture
Swizzle Inn
Taylor Family Branch YMCA
The Culinary Fox Café
Wienerville
….and many more to come!
To find out more about the discounts being offered by these and other participants, please visit our Caring Club© website. All discounts will be valid from January to December 2011.
Are you a local business owner? Contact us to find out more about the benefits of participating in this program. The Caring Club© does not charge merchants anything to be a part of the program, so you can have access to free marketing and promotion throughout the Elgin area, as well as have the potential for more customers diverted to their business, just for providing a discount! We’d be happy to meet with you to explain the club and the benefits of helping United Way of Elgin. The discount you offer is your choice, and we will always welcome new participants to the program.
