Kroger’s commitment to the Komen Indianapolis Race for the Cure is far-reaching. In addition to hundreds of event volunteers and race participants, Kroger makes a significant financial contribution which will build on our nearly $600,000 donated in recent years.
One of our most inspiring initiatives involves students from our partner school, IPS School 46. IPS students and volunteers from UPS will help Kroger prepare tens of thousands of food bags for race participants. The bags include healthy, nutritious food donated by Kroger. This is an important part of Kroger’s efforts to teach important life lessons to our classroom buddies at School 46.Kroger is also providing Walnut Grove Spring Water to participants at a water station near the finish line and along the course. In addition, the American Dairy Association is joining Kroger to provide chocolate milk to all race participants after they cross the finish line. And our pharmacists will staff an information booth to highlight pro-active wellness efforts.
Kroger associates working during the event have the option of buying a “Race for the Cure” T-shirt and wearing it in their Kroger store on race day as a show of support.
Kroger is proud to be a national sponsor for the Race for the Cure, contributing nearly $4 million nationally to breast cancer research. We look forward to supporting our Kroger associates who are survivors as well as our customers participating this year. Kroger’s division president says he is personally very inspired by every single survivor who will walk in the event.
