Help Charities by Shopping Downtown Feb. 17-19

"Shop for a Cause" will be held in two areas -  Bethlehem's historic downtown shopping district and the southside shopping and arts district from Friday, Feb. 17 through Sunday, Feb. 19.

Here's how it works:

• Go online, select a charity to shop for and print their "Shop for a Cause Purchase Form."
• Bring the form with you when you shop and dine in the participating businesses
• Have the business owner fill out your form. 10 percent of your purchases will then go back to your charity of choice.

Close to 30 businesses are participating.

"Shop for a Cause" is organized by the Downtown Bethlehem Association.
