Shop Bloomingdale’s this weekend, March 1-3 for a fashionable fundraiser, the Good Deeds and Great Savings Seasonal Shopping Event to Benefit Mentoring USA.
The weather may still be chilly, but it is the perfect opportunity to start stocking up on all of the latest spring trends while supporting an important cause during Bloomingdale’s semi-annual fashionable fundraiser philanthropic campaign, being held in-store or online at Bloomingdales.com this coming weekend, March 1-3.
This spring, Bloomingdale’s will once again support Mentoring USA, a national nonprofit organization that is an affiliate of HELP USA, and dedicated to creating positive and supportive mentoring relationships for underserved youths. Thanks to the shopping efforts of consumers during March 1-3, Bloomingdale’s has pledged to make a donation of $75,000 to Mentoring USA.
During this fun-filled weekend, Bloomingdale’s customers will enjoy special offers, exciting events, and the opportunity to learn more about Mentoring USA and how to get involved within their own communities. On Friday, March 1, shoppers are also invited to test their luck with the famed “Fashion-Finder” game that’s filled with fashion accessories, Bloomingdale’s gift cards, and more.
If you can’t get out shopping this weekend because your children are entangled in a local dance competition, then you can also support the cause by texting “MENTOR” to 40579 and replying YES to confirm a $5 donation, which will appear on your monthly phone bill (regular message and data rates may apply).
