**PURINA PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM**
Yorkshire Terrier owners have
earned for the YTCA a total of $4,296.46. One half will go to the
Donor advised fund at CHF and the other half will go to YTCA. If you feed
Purina (dry kibble only no canned food products) please go to www.Purina.com
and declare yourself a Yorkie owner with Purina and send in your Purina
circles to benefit your breed.
You do not have to be a YTCA
member you just have to own a Yorkie and feed a Purina dry kibble dog
food to benefit the breed through this program,
Purina Parent Club Partnership
The Yorkshire Terrier Club of
America through its participation in the Purina Parent Club Partnership
(PPCP) Program is enhancing the health and well-being of the Yorkshire
Terrier. Like the 166 other clubs now participating in the program, the
Yorkshire Terrier Club of America earns funding for important canine health
studies, education efforts and rescue programs when Purina Pro Clubâ
members declare the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America to receive matching
funds and submit their weight circles.
As of August 31, 2008,
the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America has 1814 members declared for the
Purina Parent Club Partnership Program. From January 1, 2008 through August
31, 2008, 256 members have submitted weight circles resulting in a total
of $6,026.43 accumulated thus far for the 2008 Program.
If all 1814 Pro Club members
declared for the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America submitted weight circles
at the same rate as the 256 members currently submitting, the earnings
through August 31st may have potentially been $42,702.90.
The best way to increase
the earnings and close the gap on the potential earnings is by spreading
the word:
To Club members who are
already Pro Clubâ members: Encourage them to declare for the Purina
Parent Club Partnership Program by calling 1-877-776-2582 and encourage
them to submit weight circles to the Purina Pro Clubâ .
To Club Members who feed
Purina
but are NOT members of Pro Clubâ: Make them aware of the Purina Parent
Club Partnership program and encourage them to join Pro Clubâ, declare
for their breed and submit weight circles to the Purina Pro Clubâ
.
Each new person who declares
participation in the PPCP Program and submits weight circles or who joins
Pro Clubâ and declares and submits weight circles will only help
to increase the earnings for 2008. To assist you in spreading the word,
we have developed ad slicks and a program overview sheet that are perfect
for use in your club’s publications, website, show catalog, etc. Additionally,
we have found that many participants have been made aware of the program
through information made available to them on their club’s web site.
Also, please do not forget that
we have PPCP promotional display boards that your club may have for their
use while supplies last. We hope you will be able to use the display at
events, meetings, banquets, etc. to help build awareness of the program
and earn funds to benefit your breed. If you are interested in receiving
a display board for your club’s use, please let me know.
The end of the year will be upon
us before we know it. Please encourage participation in this unique program,
and submission of weight circles before the end of the year, to benefit
the Yorkshire Terrier. Weight circles submitted after the end of the year
will be credited to next year’s program. There are too many important initiatives
needing funding to delay participation.
Purina thanks you for this opportunity
to partner with you and the Canine Health Foundation in advancing the health
and well being of the Yorkshire Terrier.
