Family Video & Marco’s Pizza Give “A” Students Free Movie Rentals, Pizza
Throughout the month of June, students from kindergarten through college can receive a free movie or game rental at Family Video in Marshfield for each final “A” grade or (equivalent mark) they achieve in a core subject on their year-end report card.
“Our President, Keith Hoogland, believes in the importance of academic success in the classroom,” said Jordan Brovick, District Manager. “It is important to reward students for their hard work throughout the year with the grades that they earn.”
The company expects to give away over one million movie and game rentals this summer. Additionally, all Family Video affiliated Marco’s Pizza locations will give the “A” student a small 1 topping pizza; one per student.
What started over 30 years ago as a simple way to reward local students has now become one of Family Video’s most anticipated programs. Since its launch by company founder, Charles Hoogland, the “Report Card A” program expands to 754 movie and game rental stores and 146 selective Marco’s Pizza restaurants located in 19 states and Canada.
Although the scale of the rewards program has grown, its purpose remains the same: celebrate students who put in the time and effort to achieve success in the classroom. Support from the local communities Family Video serves helps make “Report Card A” and other programs successful year after year.
Giving back to the community has been at the core of the Family Video business. In addition to the Report Card A program and the hundreds of local charity events, their annual “Round It Up for Lymphoma” campaign has raised over $6 million in the past six years. All proceeds are donated to cancer research and patient education. Thousands of turkeys and hams are also purchased, packaged with meals, gifted to needy families during the holiday season.
“It helps the community because it gives students a fun incentive to earn A’s and be able to celebrate another successful year of school. With the combination of movie and pizza families will be able to celebrate the effort their kids put into school this year,” said Brovick. “Thank you to all the students and families that will be participating in the event!”
Students can bring their report card to Family Video or Marco’s Pizza for redemption starting on June 1st. Both locations are able to accept electronic report cards as well.
On June 17th, Family Video will be hosting a summer kick-off event. All are encouraged to stop by the store in June to find out more information.
