Belk’s Charity Sale on Nov. 7 will once again benefit local charities, schools and nonprofit organizations throughout the company’s 16-state market area. Belk’s previous Charity Sale, held on May 2, 2009, raised more than $5 million for hundreds of participating nonprofit organizations.
The four-hour, in-store shopping event provides a chance for customers to support worthwhile charities and take advantage of special discounts on purchases made during the event.
In exchange for a $5 donation, customers will receive a ticket admitting them to the Charity Sale on Nov. 7 from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and entitling them to merchandise discounts ranging from an extra 15-50 percent on purchases throughout the store, including special savings on rarely discounted brands. Customers will also receive $5 off their first purchase of $5 or more at the event, and Belk cardholders will receive double Rewards points for card purchases.
Participating local charities will sell the Charity Sale tickets in advance of the event and all proceeds from each $5 ticket sold will be retained by the charity. Beginning Friday, Oct. 30, tickets may also be purchased at Belk stores with all donations equally divided among the participating charities and schools in each store.
In addition, participating customers can register to win one of three $1,000 Belk shopping sprees, and all participating charities and schools will automatically be registered to win one of three $1,000 donations from Belk.

Working mothers
Recently a politician’s wife came under fire because she did not work outside of the home. The career woman implied that this stay at home mom was not intelligent or experienced to offer non-domestic advice. Instead of keeping her mouth shut and being thought of as a fool, she spoke out and removed all doubt.
