BELK Charity Days event – Nov 8th

/0 Comments/in /by

“The Charity Sale is a private, four-hour sale dedicated to supporting local non-profit organizations.  Participating charities will have the opportunity to raise money for their organization by selling event tickets at $5 each and keeping 100% of ticket proceeds.  Ticket holders will receive 20% – 70% off of Belk purchases storewide, including special savings on rarely-discounted brands.  It is a win-win!  Belk’s two Charity Sale events in 2013 together raised more than $10 million for thousands of participating charitable organizations located in Belk’s 16-state market area.”

She stated, “ I am very excited to be a part of such a wonderful organization.  The time was right for me to return to the non- profit world and to give my time and service back to the community.  Greenwood has always been caring, giving and supportive of those in need.  I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.  Knowing that I can be a small part of the network of agencies that provide support for victims in the county where I grew up and the county where I now live, is a very fulfilling way to write the next chapter in my career. I am looking forward to establishing new relationships and rekindling old ones.”
