Do you shop at Ralph’s Grocery Stores?
If you do, there is a way to help support the
San Diego Film Commission Foundation every time you shop!
The San Diego Film Commission has suffered severe budget cuts from the City of San Diego, making it difficult to operate day-to-day. To stay afloat, we have set up a foundation, which is a 501(c)3 charitable organization, to raise funds to pay for some of the services the San Diego Film Commission is no longer funded by the City to do. The Foundation now pays for the student intern program for film students, educational opportunities, workshops, displays, exhibits, and the care and establishment of archival materials.
We appreciate donations big and small. Now every time you go grocery shopping you can help us with no personal expense involved. By using your Ralph’s Club Card when you shop at Ralph’s you are donating to the San Diego Film Commission Foundation. This does not harm your personal credits at the store for coupons, etc.
All you need to do is register your current Ralph’s Club Card online (or apply for one at any Ralph’s customer service desk).
Here’s how to register:
1) Go to www.ralphs.com and click on “community contributions” then click on “participants.”
2) Be sure to have your Ralph’s Club Card available and register your card with the San Diego Film Commission Foundation by following the easy online directions. The Foundation’s NPO number is 83542.
(If you use your phone number at the register, call 800-660-9003 to get your club number to register. You must swipe your registered Ralph’s Club Card when shopping for each purchase to count.)
We would appreciate you passing this request to your friends to help us. Thank you for helping us continue our educational outreach to the San Diego region.
