Macy’s has
provided The Benefit Fund with shopping passes to sell for $5 each, and they will keep 100 percent of every shopping pass it
sells. The more shopping passes sold, the more money The New York Police and
Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund will raise!



 



By purchasing a shopping pass from The New
York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund, customers help in
providing financial assistance to NYC’s fallen first responders, while enjoying
a day of spectacular discounts, entertainment and special events at Macy’s.
Pass holders will receive special discounts on most regular, sale and clearance
purchases all day, but some exclusions apply.





“We are thrilled to be participating in Macy’s ‘Shop For A
Cause’,” said Lauren Profeta, Associate Director of Development of The New York
Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund. "Thanks to this program, we will be able to raise much
needed funds and awareness for the families of our fallen first
responders."
