CLARKS RX PHARMACY CLUB RX DONATES OVER $5,000 TO COMMUNITY CHARITIES

$3.99 Generics Program Contributes to Communities Each Time New Members Join

DAYTON, OH, April 5, 2011 – Clark’s Rx Pharmacy, announced today that Club Rx, a prescription savings program that gives members generic prescriptions for only $3.99 on a 30-day supply, and $10 on a 90-day supply, has donated over $5,000 to nine various community charities since the program’s inception earlier in 2010.

Club Rx was introduced earlier last year to offer customers $3.99 generics, as well as have a positive impact within the communities Clark’s Rx serves. Clark’s Rx Pharmacy donates 100 percent of the $5 annual membership fee to one selected charity within the nine communities with Clark’s Rx pharmacy locations.

“People are always looking for ways to save and many pharmacies offer generic programs,” said Tim Clark, president of Clark’s Rx.  “With our program, we wanted people to save and know they’re helping others at the same time. This has been a core philosophy of our business for more than 70 years and we’re thrilled to be able to give these customer-funded donations to area non-profits.”

Each Clark’s Rx store selected the location in their area to receive the funds.  This round of donations includes a total of $1,485.
