Belk Fall Charity Sale to Benefit Local Nonprofits

On Nov. 6, Belk will hold its Fall Charity Sale to benefit communities throughout the department store chain’s 16-state market area. The retailer is inviting local charities, schools and other nonprofits to participate. The last Belk Charity Sale, held May 1, raised more than $4.5 million for hundreds of participating nonprofit organizations.

The four-hour, in-store shopping event helps participating organizations fundraise and gives customers an opportunity to support their favorite charities while receiving special discounts. A $5 donation gets a customer entry to the sale and entitles them to discounts ranging from 20 to 70 percent throughout the store. Customers will also receive $5 off their first purchase of $5 or more at the event. Belk cardholders will receive double Rewards points for card purchases, while Belk Elite cardholders will receive triple points.

The first 100 customers in each store will receive a free Belk gift card and three lucky winners company-wide will receive a gift card valued at $1,000. In addition, all participating charities and schools will be automatically registered to win one of three $1,000 donations from Belk in a company-wide drawing.

Charity Sale tickets are available at all Belk stores for participating local, nonprofit organizations to sell in advance of the event. All proceeds will be retained by the charity. Beginning Friday, October 29, tickets may also be purchased at Belk stores with all donations equally divided among the participating charities and schools from each local store.
