Kicking for a Cause

Tens of thousands of Shopkickers shop to fight breast cancer:  “Kick for a Cause” Awards $50,000 to National Breast Cancer Foundation 

Thanks to participation from Texan shoppers, the Frisco-based National Breast Cancer Foundation has a new $50,000 donation. Today, Shopkick, the leading shopping rewards app, today announced National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) as the winner of its “Kicking for a Cause” contest and the recipient of the $50,000 donation.

NBCF taglineTens of thousands of shoppers all around the country scanned, shopped and bought groceries, consumer packaged goods, home goods, clothes and more – putting the kicks they earned toward the better health of sisters, mothers, friends and grandmothers. Texas was one of the top 5 participating states shopping to help fight breast cancer.

The entire “Kicking for a Cause” campaign ran across five weeks of summer and resulted in:

  • Premium Participation:  75,103 Shopkick users took part in the cause
  • Massive Kicking:  More than 45 million total “kicks” (Shopkick’s reward currency) were earned by program participants
  • Clear Winner:  NBCF earned 12,994,793 kicks, nearly 30% of the overall program earnings

Each organization was paired with an online influencer to help promote the cause. High School Musical star KayCee Stroh was NBCF’s team captain, encouraging her fans to join the effort. The top five charitable states in order of participation were Louisiana, Texas, Ohio, Illinois and North Carolina.

We were blown away by our community’s participation in Kicking for a Cause. It’s clear how important giving is to our loyal users,” said Bill Demas, CEO of Shopkick. “We’re proud to award the $50,000 donation to NBCF on behalf of our customers, to support their work in promoting the early detection of breast cancer, as well as educating and supporting people affected by the disease.”
