Lord & Taylor to Host Shop Smart, Do Good Fundraiser

All-day event supports local charitable organizations.

On Tuesday, Lord & Taylor will host “Shop Smart. Do Good! A Fundraising Day” in support of local charitable organizations.

The event will give non-profit organizations the opportunity to raise thousands of dollars in one special day.

“Lord & Taylor is proud to support the local community by hosting ‘Shop Smart. Do Good!’” says Joseph Ricaurte, vice president/general manager. “This past fall, organizations collectively raised over $280,000. We look forward to partnering with even more groups this spring.”

Here’s how it works: Customers may purchase $5 tickets to “Shop Smart. Do Good!” in advance from participating organizations, at lordandtaylor.com/dogood or at the store the day of the event. Participating organizations keep all proceeds from ticket sales, and there is no limit to the number of tickets any organization can sell.

Each ticket includes two special shopping incentives – a 20 percent coupon to be used on one item and a 15 percent savings pass for the day, good on almost anything in the store, including cosmetics and fragrances. For every $250 purchase on ladies' or men's sportswear, receive a $25 award certificate. Plus, receive an additional 10 percent off your purchases if you use your Lord & Taylor card or 15 percent off if you open a new Lord & Taylor card account.
