The holidays are a time to be thankful for those who are healthy in our life and give to those who are not. I try to teach my kids every year, heck everyday that life isnt all about getting. Its what you give that matters. To help out, change someones day, maybe even change someones life. I love giving. I love doing things for others to make them feel good, it makes me feel great! I think especially in this day and age it is an incredibly important thing to teach our kids. Giving can feel just as good (if not better) than getting.
This holiday season Kmart toy shoppers have another way to give back to the St. Jude Thanks and Giving® campaign.
Between December 7th and December 13th, Kmart will donate $1 to St. Jude for every Fab 15 toy purchased, up to a maximum donation of $25,000. How amazing is that?!
Can you believe that Kmart, the all-time leading St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® fundraising partner, has already raised more than $10 million for St. Jude this holiday season alone?! Every little bit helps, it sure adds up!
There are aso two more ways to support St. Jude at Kmart this season:
– At the register: Shop Your Way members and Kmart shoppers can donate when they check out in all Kmart stores, or online via a link: Kmart.com/StJude. As a special thank you to Shop Your Way members, Kmart is rewarding members who give back – through Dec. 27 – with a coupon for five percent back in points on their next qualifying in-store or online merchandise purchase. Points expire 90 days after receipt. Maximum $20 in points (20,000 in points) per transaction. See coupon for details.
– On the tree: Kmart’s exclusive 2014 collectible St. Jude bear ornament is available in-stores and online at Kmart.com.
