JCPenney program to raise funds for Bellevue Boys & Girls Clubs

From March 24 to April 6, shoppers at the JCPenney at Bellevue Square are invited to “round-up” their purchases to the nearest whole dollar and donate the difference to Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue to support quality afterschool programs in their community.

“The availability of affordable afterschool programs continues to be an important community objective in order to meet the needs of working families,” said Kathy Haggart, President/CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue. “As customers shop for the Easter season, we hope they will keep our mission in mind by rounding-up their purchases to benefit a local cause.”

All funds raised from JCPenney’s “Round-up” campaign will make it possible for more local youth to participate in Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue’s afterschool programming, which includes the education program known as “Project Learn.”
