What is Community Day?

Community Day is our annual fundraising event designed to provide schools, nonprofit and 501c3 organizations with a fun and easy way to raise money. Since 1999, the event has raised over $74 Million!

When is it?

Community Day takes place on Saturday, November 13, 2010, at our family of stores: Bon-Ton, Elder-Beerman, Bergner’s, Boston Store, Carson’s, Herberger’s, Younkers, and Parisian. Stores open at 6 am, and stay open late. Find a store near you.

How does it work?

Participating organizations sell coupon booklets to the public for $5 each,

keeping 100% of the proceeds!

Each booklet contains coupons valid during our Community Day One Day Sale on November 13th.

What will customers receive in each booklet?

Event offers to come.

How do we get booklets?

We provide the booklets—plus advertising support, selling tips, and online tools to track your success—

at no cost to your organization

. After you sign up, a Community Day representative will contact you to schedule booklet pick-up and provide more details.

Where do we sell booklets?

You can sell booklets on your own, and in stores before and during the event.

Is there a minimum number of booklets we must sell?

Organizations are not required to sell a minimum number of booklets to participate in the Community Day event, however, there are rewards in place for organizations that meet a minimum number of booklets sold, participate in selling booklets in our stores and comply with our end of the event requirements of returning unsold booklets. Those groups that exceed these requirements and become the top booklet sellers will receive a special invitation to sell booklets at their participating store on Community Day.

Are there any selling guidelines we must follow when selling booklets in-store?

Yes, here are our basic guidelines when selling in our stores:

All members must be age 16 or older, or accompanied by an adult.
Dress appropriately—no jeans, sweatpants or shorts. School teams and organizations are encouraged to wear their uniforms or team t-shirts.
No eating on the selling floor or at selling tables.
Cell phone use on the selling floor or at selling tables is prohibited.
Always act professional and treat customers in a friendly manner.
Organization members must report to their assigned stores at the beginning of their scheduled shifts.
Each member must sign in with the store manager or Community Day Captain at the Gift Wrap desk at the start of the shift and sign out upon completion of shift.
Organization contact is required to report weekly booklet selling results.

Above all, remember to keep the fun in fundraising!
