PRLog (Press Release) - Aug. 24, 2012 - San Francisco, CA – Macy’s will partner with Saint James School to invite customers to participate in Macy’s seventh annual “Shop for a Cause” charity shopping event. Macy’s 2012 Shop for a Cause will take place on August 25, 2012; customers can purchase tickets now from Saint James School.  Macy’s Shop for a Cause is a unique one-day-only shopping event created to support local charities’ fundraising efforts, which have helped raised more than $42 million for charities across the country since 2006.  

“Giving back is a cornerstone of Macy’s culture, and through our annual Shop For A Cause program Macy’s has been able to raise more than $42 million for local and national charities that are meaningful for our customers and associates,” said Martine Reardon, Macy’s chief marketing officer. “We are proud to offer our customers a simple way to make a positive difference in their communities while enjoying great savings at Macy’s. Our customers’ ongoing support is an inspiration, and we hope to continue making an impact for years to come.”

Macy’s has provided Saint James School with shopping passes to sell for $5 each. The organization will keep 100% of every ticket it sells. The more tickets sold by Saint James School, the more money it will raise!

By purchasing a shopping pass to the event from Saint James School, customers’ support will promote the strong academic curriculum and extra programs currently at Saint James School, while enjoying a day of spectacular discounts, entertainment and special events. Ticket holders will enjoy special discounts on most regular, sale and clearance purchases all day.  (Some shopping exclusions do apply.)

According to Sheri Stuckey, chair of the Development Board at Saint James, “This is a great way for Saint James to raise not only additional funding but awareness of what Saint James has to offer the children in the Bay Area. Be sure to stop by our display table and learn more about our program at Saint James and how your K-8 child will thrive at Saint James.”
