Dear Futurity Nominee:

The American Boxer Club, Inc. recently joined with Purina® to participate in the newly formed Pro Plan® Futurity Alliance. This program is designed to recognize the very best of the Boxer breed and provide financial support to enhance our club's efforts in advancing the excellence of the Boxer by promoting quality breeding, care and health programs. Purina is the first pet food manufacturer to financially support the Futurity programs of National Parent Breed Clubs. We're looking to you to help us make this Futurity Alliance successful. By taking advantage of this opportunity with Purina, we can generate needed funds for our breed's important programs.

How does the Pro Plan® Futurity Alliance work?

The American Boxer Club, Inc. can earn funds to support the important health and education projects our club has targeted to advance the Boxer breed. This can happen two ways:

1. Receive one-time donations based on the participation of breeders and puppy owners in the club's Futurity program. Purina will donate $10 for each Futurity-nominated litter, $2 for each Futurity-nominated puppy and $25 for each Futurity-nominated puppy that earns its AKC Conformation Championship title. Our breed club members are not required to feed Purina products, or belong to Purina Pro Club to receive these donations.
2. Receive donations based on the participation of breeders and owners of nominated litters and/or puppies in the Purina Pro Club loyalty program. When our club's Futurity participants are members of Pro Club, they will earn valuable Purina Points for every purchased pound of participating Purina® brand dog foods. Our club can also earn 10% of the value of all points from valid weight circles credited to our Futurity participants' Pro Club accounts. For example, for every $100 worth of qualifying weight circle points earned by our Futurity participants, Purina will donate $10 to the health and education projects targeted by our National Parent Breed Club (up to $20,000 annually). As you can see, the more Futurity participants feed Purina proucts and participate in Pro Club, the greater the earnings potential for our club.

In addition, Purina will award the Pro Plan Futurity Trophy to the winner of our annual Futurity competition, and will provide recognition awards for all Futurity-nominated puppies achieving their AKC Conformation Championship title.

For those of you who are Futurity participants and are not current Pro Club members, we would encourage you to consider joining to support the Futurity Alliance. Pro Club is dedicated to supporting breeders and enthusiasts with exceptional nutrition, great savings and valuable services. To enroll in Purina Pro Club, calll-877-PRO-CLUB (1-877- 776-2582), 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, Mon.-Fri., or watch for the special Futurity mailing you'll receive from Purina after you nominate a litter and/or puppy.

We hope that the members of the American Boxer Club will enthusiastically support the Pro Plan Futurity Alliance. Purina looks forward to working with us in promoting and advancing the excellence of the Boxer by supporting quality breeding, care and nutrition programs on behalf of our club's members.
