Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) August 01, 2014 -- The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ:BONT) which operates Bon-Ton, Boston Store, Bergner’s, Carson’s, Elder-Beerman, Herberger’s and Younkers stores, announces its support of STOMP Out Bullying™ and Blue Shirt Day ™ World Day of Bullying Prevention for the third consecutive year. STOMP Out Bullying™ is the leading national bullying and cyberbullying prevention organization for children and teens. The back-to-school campaign kicks off today, August 1. The blue shirts are now on sale exclusively at Bon-Ton stores and at bonton.com/bts. The campaign, which will continue through October 31, supports friendship, compassion and raising awareness of anti-bullying among youth.

Ross Ellis, founder and CEO of STOMP Out Bullying, said: “Every kid and teen deserves to go to school and learn in a safe environment. With the generous help of the Bon-Ton Stores, we are able to help provide this environment by raising awareness of bullying and cyberbullying prevention, educating students, teachers and administrators to identify bullying situations, and empowering them to stand up and help end this terrible problem that affects everyone. Bullying does not discriminate. No matter your race, gender, sexual orientation; no matter whether you are tall or short, thin or fat, you can be a bullying victim. But, no matter who you are, you can also prevent bullying. That is what Blue Shirt Day™ World Day of Bullying Prevention is all about.”

“We at the Bon-Ton Stores are proud to continue to support STOMP Out Bullying for the third consecutive year for Blue Shirt Day™ World Day of Bullying Prevention. There are many ways to get involved with the campaign this year and I encourage our customers to join us in standing up to bullies in our communities,“ Brendan Hoffman, President and CEO, The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc., said.

In honor of October’s National Bullying Prevention Month, Blue Shirt Day™ World Day of Bullying Prevention is observed annually on the first Monday in October. This year, Blue Shirt Day will be held on October 6. The “Blue Shirts” are being sold exclusively in stores and online at The Bon-Ton Stores from August 1 through October 6. 100% of net profits will be donated directly to STOMP Out Bullying™ from each t-shirt sale. The Bon-Ton Stores and STOMP Out Bullying™ encourage children, teens and adults to wear the Blue Shirts creating a ‘sea of blue’ across the globe to raise awareness and funds for bullying prevention, making October 6 the day that bullying prevention is supported around the world.
