Macy’s ninth annual “Shop For A Cause” one-day shopping event held on Saturday, August 23, 2014 raised more than $2.7 million to help the March of Dimes give more babies in our nation a healthy start in life, it was announced today.
Over the past four years, Macy’s “Shop For A Cause” has supported the March of Dimes work to prevent serious infant health problems such as premature birth, birth defects, and infant mortality. In total, Macy’s customers have donated more than $11 million through “Shop For A Cause” to help moms have full-term, healthy babies.
“Thanks to the incredible support of Macy’s and their customers the March of Dimes is making a difference in the lives of moms and babies who need help,” said Meri-Margaret Deoudes, March of Dimes vice president, National Strategic Alliances and Cause Marketing. “The ‘Shop For A Cause’ program is perfect for families to save on back-to-school shopping for their children while helping other families in their communities and nationwide with babies born too soon.”
The March of Dimes was the exclusive national beneficiary of in-store and online savings pass sales for Macy’s “Shop for A Cause” in 2014. For more information about “Shop For A Cause,” visit macys.com/sfac.
"Macy's continues to be inspired to give back and proud to offer our customers an easy way to make a positive difference in the March of Dimes mission for stronger, healthier babies in communities across the country," said Martine Reardon, Macy's chief marketing officer.
