Macy's Hosts Eighth Annual "Shop For A Cause" on Saturday, August 24th
Macy’s offers customers a one-day 25
percent discount with a $5 donation to March of Dimes
Who/What: Macy’s invites customers to
participate in its eighth annual national Shop For A Cause charity event on
Aug. 24, 2013. Macy’s “Shop For A Cause” is a unique, one-day-only shopping
event, created to support the fundraising efforts of
local charities, which has helped raise more than $45 million since
2006. In addition to thousands of local charities selling savings passes across
the country, Macy’s has designated March of Dimes, the leading nonprofit
organization in support of pregnancy and baby health, as its national
beneficiary of all proceeds of sales of “Shop For A Cause” savings passes in
Macy’s stores and on macys.com.
By purchasing $5
“Shop For A Cause” savings passes in stores, customers will be supporting the
March of Dimes and will receive 25 percent off on regular, sale and clearance
merchandise, as well as 10 percent off electrics, electronics, watches,
furniture, mattresses and area rugs in the store all day Saturday, Aug. 24.
Customers also are eligible to win a $500 gift card. (See savings pass for
discount exclusions and restrictions. No purchase necessary to participate in
sweepstakes. Official rules and alternate means of entry for sweepstakes are
available at all Macy’s locations.)
New this year, Macy’s is partnering with
the March of Dimes mobile-giving partners Mobile Commons and the BBB Mobile
Giving Foundation to allow customers to purchase their savings pass
conveniently using their smart phones, while receiving the same great Macy’s
deal. Customers who choose to participate will receive a $5 charge on their
phone bill by their wireless provider. Each wireless provider will collect this
charge and submit to the Mobile Giving Foundation, which will then transfer all
contributions to the March of Dimes. Customers can also shop online at
macys.com, as passes purchased there on Aug. 24 will also benefit the March of
Dimes.
