Program Overview

Since Urkop’s created the Ukrop’s Golden Gift program in 1987, it has distributed $11.6 million to local non-profits. Based on both customer and non-profit feedback, Ukrop’s is re-launching the program this year by combining only the best aspects of previous programs. It’s easier than ever to participate and earn funds. Ukrop’s 2008 Golden Gift program donation will be $400,000!

The John Tyler Community College Foundation is pleased to once again be a participating non-profit with the Ukrop’s Golden Gift program. Each participating non-profit can earn up to 2% of the total $400,000 payout based on the number of Golden Gift points contributed by Ukrop’s Valued Customers to their organization.

How does Golden Gift work?

Any customer that has a valid Ukrop’s Valued Customer Card can participate without any additional registration! If you need a UVC Card, just stop by the Customer Service counter at any Ukrop’s retail location.

Every time you shop at Ukrop’s and use your UVC card between February 4 and March 29, 2008, you will earn one Golden Gift Point for every $1 spent. The more you shop, the more you earn! Points are automatically calculated and tracked on your purchase receipts. At the end of the program period, a Golden Gift Certificate that details your household’s points will be mailed to you. Donate your points by turning your Golden Gift Certificate in to the participating non-profit of your choice. The more Golden Gift Points a participating non-profit collects, the greater their share of the $400,000 payout!

Note: Households must spend at least $100 during the program period (an average of $12.50 per week over 8 weeks) in order to receive a Golden Gift Certificate. Golden Gift points for all household members whose UVC Cards are linked will be tallied together.
