You might want to check the Pro Club rules again. If you sign up to have your points go to the BCA you get nothing. If you sign up (I have been for several years) for yourself and send in the points you get the benifit and not the BCA. 7000 points gets me $70 in cupons for food purchases or about 2 free bags of food. I believe BCA uses the donated points for rescue vet bills and food.)
Steve,
Purina® Parent Club Partnership (PPCP) Program
Since 2002, thousands of fellow dog breeders and enthusiasts have declared their participation in the Purina Parent Club Partnership (PPCP) Program. This program allows national parent breed clubs to individually earn funding based on Purina weight circle submissions by Pro Club® members.
How it Works
Pro Club members submit weight circles from bags of participating Purina® brand Dog Foods and accumulate weight circle points as part of the Pro Club Weight Circle Program. (Refer to Purina Pro Club Weight Circle Program for the program details). Purina tracks these weight circle submissions, and for every $100 of qualifying weight circle points earned by Pro Club members, Purina donates $10 to the participating national parent breed club. It is as simple as that.
Points are accumulated throughout a calendar year, and a check representing 10 percent of the value of the submitted weight circles for the year is evenly split between the participating national parent breed club and the AKC Canine Health Foundation. Since all funding is incremental to the weight circle program, YOUR participation in the PPCP WILL NOT result in reduction of the points you personally earn.
Just to let you know there are over 1500 bulldoggers that are Pro Club members. ONLY 230 (I believe, could be a little less) turn in weight circles. Total amount of monies we were given this year is a little over $8,000.00.
