Macy’s offers customers a one-day 30 percent discount with a $5 donation to the March of Dimes® or thousands of other participating local charities
Macy’s invites customers to participate in its 10th annual national “Shop For A Cause” charity event on Saturday, August 29. Macy’s “Shop For A Cause” is a unique, one-day-only shopping event created to support local charities’ fundraising efforts. Since 2006, the program has helped raise tens of millions of dollars for thousands of charities across the country.
Additionally, Macy’s has designated the March of Dimes, the leading nonprofit organization in support of pregnancy and baby health, as its national in-store and online beneficiary of “Shop For A Cause.” Customers will be invited to give $5 to the March of Dimes at any Macy’s register and receive a savings pass valid for 30 percent off all-day on regular, sale and clearance merchandise, including home, 25 percent off designer apparel collections for men and women, Impulse, designer handbags, men’s shoes, Wacoal, Tumi, Wustoff, Henkels, Kate Spade home and All Clad, as well as 10 percent off on electrics, electronics, watches, furniture, mattresses and area rugs all day Saturday, August 29. Exclusions apply. Customers are also eligible to win a $500 gift card.
“For the last nine years, Macy’s ‘Shop For A Cause’ has offered an easy way for our customers and associates to give back to their communities while enjoying great savings,” said Martine Reardon, Macy’s chief marketing officer. “In addition to supporting thousands of local charities, we are honored to partner with the March of Dimes as our national in-store and online beneficiary, continuing to help make a positive difference in the lives of families nationwide.”
Customers can also shop online at macys.com on August 29, and purchase a 25 percent off savings pass to benefit the March of Dimes.
“Year-after-year, Macy’s, their associates and customers continue to show their commitment to mom and baby health by taking part in ‘Shop For A Cause,’ ” said James Dennis, state director for the Pennsylvania Chapter March of Dimes. “The funds raised are critical to help us fund our innovative research into the nation’s number one killer of babies, premature birth. ‘Shop For A Cause’ gives every family an opportunity to save on back-to-school items, but more importantly, help their community and make baby health a national priority.”
Last year’s Shop For A Cause one-day shopping event has raised more than $2.8 million nationwide and over $135,000 in Pennsylvania to help the March of Dimes give more babies in our community a healthy start in life. Programs for moms and babies in the area have benefited from those funds over the last year.
The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health, working to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.
