News Release-Macy's Shop for a Cause Day





United Way of Santa Barbara County Partners with Macy’s for Sixth Annual Shop For A Cause Day

Macy’s helps local charity raise funds and awareness for important cause
 


Santa Barbara, CA – August 8, 2011 - Macy’s will partner with United Way of Santa Barbara County (UWSBC) to invite customers to participate in Macy’s sixth annual "Shop for a Cause" charity shopping event. Macy’s 2011 Shop for a Cause will take place on August 27, 2011; customers can purchase tickets now from UWSBC. Macy’s Shop for a Cause is a unique one-day-only shopping event created to support local charities’ fundraising efforts, which has helped raised more than $38 million for charities across the country since 2006.

"Macy’s is committed to giving back to our local communities. Our annual Shop for a Cause Program, which has raised more than $38 million for local and national charities in the past five years, is meaningful for us because it gives our customers and associates an opportunity to give back to the local charities, schools and non-profits that matter a great deal to them," said Martine Reardon, Macy’s Executive Vice President of Marketing. "We are proud to offer our customers an easy way to make a positive difference while enjoying great savings at Macy’s."

Macy’s has provided UWSBC with shopping passes to sell for $5 each.  The organization will keep 100% of every ticket it sells. The more UWSBC sells the more money it will raise!

By purchasing a shopping pass to the event from UWSBC, customers can support UWSBC’s commitment to improving education, health and financial stability for children, families, and seniors in our south Santa Barbara County community, while enjoying a day of spectacular discounts, entertainment, and special events. Pass holders will enjoy special discounts on most regular, sale and clearance purchases all day. Some exclusions apply.

"We are excited about the opportunity to partner with Macy’s in an effort that will benefit the children, families, and seniors in our Santa Barbara County community. When organizations, businesses and individuals come together like this, everyone benefits in the short and long term," said Paul Didier, President and CEO for UWSBC. "To create change, especially long-term change, working together and living united is critical."
