FRIENDS HELPING FRIENDS 

On Tuesday, October 22, 2013, Boscov’s Department Store will again host our popular, FRIENDS HELPING FRIENDS, a special day filled with fun and fundraising, to benefit area non-profit organizations. In October, 2012 FRIENDS HELPING FRIENDS day was a tremendous success, raising over $500,000 for service organizations in communities with Boscov’s stores throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New York and Maryland. We would like to invite your organization to join in the success of this year’s FRIENDS HELPING FRIENDS day
Every 501c and 170c1 non-profit organization is eligible to participate. There is no cost or obligation to any participating organization. Your organization will be supplied with $5 shopping passes, as many as you want, to sell to friends, neighbors and family. Everyone who purchases a $5 Friends Helping Friends pass receives a 25% discount shopping pass* for purchases made only on October 22, 2013.  In addition, they are eligible to win fabulous door prizes including shopping sprees as well as valuable merchandise items. Your organization keeps the entire $5 from every shopping pass sold.
