Macy’s gives back to March of Dimes and local
charities through annual shopping event
Macy’s (NYSE:M) announced today that it has raised $3.4 million
for the March of Dimes and various charitable organizations across
the country as a result of the generous participation of customers
nationwide in its 2014 Shop For A Cause event.
Now in its ninth year, Shop For A Cause is a unique,
one-day-only shopping event created to support local and national
charities’ fundraising efforts. Macy’s 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.
“Macy’s Shop For A Cause program presents a meaningful way for
our customers and associates to give back,” said Martine Reardon,
Macy’s chief marketing officer. “Thanks to everyone who supports
this program nationwide, we are proud to announce that $3.4 million
was raised as a result of this year’s efforts.”
This year, more than 5,000 local charities signed up to
participate. By purchasing $5 Shop For A Cause savings passes from
these organizations, customers supported their favorite local
causes and received 25 percent off on regular, sale and clearance
merchandise, as well as 10 percent off electrics, electronics,
watches, furniture, mattresses and area rugs, all day Saturday,
Aug. 23.
