Push to Walk Participates in Macy’s Ninth Annual “Shop For A Cause”
Riverdale, NJ (PRWEB) July 31, 2014 -- Push to Walk and Macy’s invite customers to participate in Macy’s ninth annual national “Shop For A Cause” charity shopping event on August 23, 2014. Macy’s “Shop For A Cause” is a unique one-day-only shopping event created to support local charities’ fundraising efforts, and has helped raise more than $44 million for charities across the country since 2006. Customers can participate in this year’s event by purchasing shopping passes from Push to Walk now.
“Macy’s is committed to giving back, both nationally and to our local communities,” said Martine Reardon, Macy’s chief marketing officer. “For the last eight years, Macy’s ‘Shop For A Cause’ program has provided our customers and associates a unique opportunity to show their support and give back to their local community organizations, while also enjoying great savings at Macy’s.”
Push to Walk was given shopping passes to sell for $5 each from Macy’s. The non-profit will keep 100 percent of every shopping pass it sells. The more shopping passes sold, the more money Push to Walk will raise.
By purchasing a shopping pass from Push to Walk, customers support the gaining of independence for those with paralysis while enjoying a day of spectacular discounts, entertainment and special events at Macy’s. Pass holders will receive special discounts on most regular, sale and clearance purchases all day, but some exclusions apply.
“Macy’s Shop For A Cause is an easy and convenient fundraiser for us to get involved in. This will be our third year participating and we appreciate the opportunity to partner with a reputable name like Macy’s because the savings passes sell themselves,” said Push to Walk President, Cynthia Templeton.
