Literacy Volunteers in Mercer County (LVMC) announced that it will participate in Macy’s fifth annual Shop For A Cause charity shopping event, which has raised more than $34 million since 2006 for local charities across the country. This year’s Shop For A Cause will take place at all Macy’s stores and on macys.com, Saturday, Oct. 16.
Through Shop For A Cause, Macy’s provides participating organizations with shopping passes to sell for $5 each. Organizations keep 100 percent of every ticket sold. Pass holders will enjoy 20 percent or 10 percent off most regular, sale and clearance purchases all day, plus 25 percent off one regular, sale or clearance item in men’s, women’s or kids apparel or accessories. (Some exclusions apply, see pass for details.)
By purchasing a shopping pass to the event, customers will be supporting their favorite cause while enjoying a day of spectacular discounts, entertainment, special events and a chance to win a $500 shopping spree.
"This event is a great way for supporters of Literacy Volunteers in Mercer County to raise funds and awareness," said Cheryl Kirton, executive director of LVMC. "The money we receive from Macy’s Shop For A Cause will go directly to help someone who is struggling to read."
