The four-hour, in-store shopping event provides an opportunity for customers to support worthwhile community 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 Spring Charity Sale and entitling them to merchandise discounts ranging from 20 to 70 percent off on items 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 (and Belk Elite cardholders triple Rewards points) for card purchases.

On the morning of the event, 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.

Participating local charities will sell the Charity Sale tickets in advance of the event and proceeds from each ticket will be retained by the charity. Beginning Friday, Insert Date, tickets may also be purchased at Belk stores with all in-store ticket sale donations divided among the participating charities and schools in each location. www.Belk.com
