Customers were presented with three ways to get involved with the ‘Give the Gift of a Great Future’ campaign.
1.) Purchase Cinnamon the Bear: An exclusive 2015 Teddy Bear was sold in stores and online with 100 percent of the net proceeds donated to Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
2.) Make a Donation: Shoppers had the opportunity to make a $3 donation to Boys & Girls Clubs of America while in-store and, in return, received $15 off a $30 their next purchase.
