Boise, ID: Make-A-Wish Idaho announces the return of Macy’s beloved Believe letter-writing campaign which gives believers of all ages the opportunity to send letters and deliver wishes. From Monday, Nov. 1 through Dec. 24, for every letter sent to Santa online at https://mcys.co/3CzaVaY or dropped off in Macy’s stores, Macy’s will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish America, up to one million dollars, to help children fighting critical illnesses.
This year, Macy’s offers even more ways for customers to give back with an in-store round-up campaign. From Monday, Nov. 1 through Tuesday, Nov. 19, customers can round-up their in-store purchases to the nearest dollar amount and donate the change (up to $0.99) to benefit Make-A-Wish. Additionally, throughout the campaign, customers can donate online when shopping at macys.com. During National Believe Week (11/28-12/4), Macy’s doubles their donation, giving $2 per letter, up to an additional $1 million. This brings the total donation goal to $2 million for the Believe campaign.
“For the past 14 years, our customers have helped grant wishes across the country through Macy’s Believe campaign. The impact of a wish transforms the lives of Make-A-Wish children battling critical illnesses and provides hope and joy when they need it most,” said Sam Di Scipio, Macy’s senior director of corporate communications, giving and volunteerism. “We’re proud to see how Macy’s Believe campaign has continued to evolve, offering our customers even more ways to give back throughout the holiday season to help make life shine brighter for Make-A-Wish children and their families.”
Since 2003, Macy’s has donated more than $137 million to Make-A-Wish, including more than $25 million through the retailer’s annual Believe campaign, helping grant more than 16,200 wishes and impact more than 3.2 million people, including wish kids and their families, volunteers, community groups, medical professionals and more.
