Boscov’s has officially opened registration to its 27th annual fundraising event, Friends Helping Friends.

The event is a one-day, in store event on Oct. 18, when the department store offers 25% off its “Lowest Sale Prices.“

To be included in the event, customers receive a “shopping pass“ after donating $5 to a partnering nonprofit organization.

The nonprofit organization keeps 100% of the shopping pass donation proceeds.

“Each year, over 3,000 nonprofit organizations participate in this event and raise over $2 Million in donations,” chairman and CEO Jim Boscov said. “It’s our most aggressive promotion of the year and we do it to encourage donations to the organizations so critical to the communities we serve.”
