NEEED OF PHILADELPHIA PARTNERS WITH MACY'S FOR SEVENTH ANNUAL "SHOP FOR A CAUSE"

Macy's helps local charity raise funds and awareness for important cause through annual charity shopping event

Philadelphia, PA - July 8th, 2013 - Macy's will partner with Networking for Equal Education and Economic Development (NEEED) of Philadelphia to invite customers to participate in Macy's seventh annual "Shop for a Cause" charity shopping event. Macy's 2013 Shop for a Cause will take place on August 24th, 2013; customers can purchase tickets NOW from NEEED. Macy's Shop for a Cause is a unique one-day-only shopping event created to support local charities' fundraising efforts, which have helped raise 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 NEEED with shopping passes to sell for $5 each. The organization will keep 100% of every ticket it sells. The more tickets sold by NEEED, the more money it will raise!

By purchasing a shopping pass to the event from NEEED, customers support our Scholarship Fund, while enjoying a day of spectacular discounts, entertainment, special events. Pass holders will enjoy special discounts on most regular, sale and clearance purchases all day. (Some exclusions apply)
