Grassroots event benefits local
non-profit organizations
Belk invites schools and other nonprofit
organizations in the company’s 16-state market area to participate in its
semi-annual Belk Charity Sale, Saturday, May 3, from 6 – 10 a.m. The four-hour,
in-store shopping event offers an excellent fundraising tool for participating
organizations and an opportunity for customers to support local charities while
taking advantage of special discounts on purchases during the event.
Belk Charity Sale tickets are
available now to participating nonprofit organizations for sale in advance of
the event. One hundred percent of the proceeds from each $5 ticket sold will be
retained by the local charity. There is no limit to the number of tickets
charities can sell, or to the amount of money they can raise. Belk will provide
tickets and informational materials at no cost to each participating
organization.
Beginning Friday, April 18,
tickets may also be purchased at Belk stores with all revenues from in-store
ticket sales equally divided among participating charities and schools in each
local store. In 2013 Belk’s Charity Sale raised more than $10 million for
thousands of participating charitable organizations throughout the South.
On the morning of the Belk
Charity Sale, the first 100 customers to arrive at each store will receive a
Belk gift card ranging in value from $5 to $100, and a chance to win one of
three $1,000 Belk gift cards being awarded company-wide. Also, participating
charities and schools will be registered to win one of three $1,000 donations
from Belk in a company-wide drawing.
Charity representatives
interested in taking part in this one-of-a-kind fundraising event should
contact their local Belk store manager for more information. In order to participate
in the Belk Charity Sale, organizations must have an IRS Section 501(c)(3)
designation from the Internal Revenue Service.
