Customers Can Win $1,000 in Rite Aid Gift Cards
by Recognizing Rite Aid’s Healthcare Heroes During the COVID-19
Pandemic and Beyond
Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) announced the kick-off of the company’s
annual Pharmacy Champions program, which the drug store chain is
rebranding “Pharmacy Heroes” to acknowledge the heroism and
remarkable service provided by Rite Aid’s pharmacy team in the face
of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Held throughout October during American Pharmacists Month, the
Pharmacy Hero Contest gives Rite Aid customers the opportunity to
honor any pharmacist or pharmacy technician who has gone above and
beyond to deliver exceptional health care service to them. By
nominating a deserving pharmacy team member through Rite Aid’s
online submission form at www.riteaid.com/pharmacyhero, customers
will also earn a chance to win $1,000 in Rite Aid Gift Cards.
“As part of our RxEvolution, Rite Aid pharmacists serve as
holistic health advocates for our customers, in addition to
offering traditional medication counseling, immunizations, clinical
services and alternative remedies,” said Jocelyn Konrad, executive
vice president and chief pharmacy officer, Rite Aid. “Our trusted
pharmacists have demonstrated their value throughout these
challenging times by going above and beyond to remain on the front
lines as dependable healthcare heroes. We look forward to giving
our customers a chance to share stories of how Rite Aid’s
neighborhood pharmacy teams have helped them during these difficult
times.”
A panel of judges will evaluate entries based on the effort,
impact, and operational excellence of each pharmacy team member in
Rite Aid’s 11 Divisional areas, and will select a total of 11
pharmacists and 11 pharmacy technicians as winners representing all
areas. Each winning Rite Aid Pharmacy Hero will receive $1,000 in
Rite Aid gift cards and a $1,000 donation in their name to a
KidCents charity of their choice. KidCents, a charitable giving
program of The Rite Aid Foundation, supports 480 local nonprofits
addressing health and wellness challenges facing children in the
neighborhoods that Rite Aid serves.
The 22 customers who recognized the winning Rite Aid pharmacy
team members will also receive $1,000 in Rite Aid gift cards. For
complete details and official rules, go to any Rite Aid store or
