HEALTH PROJECTS NEVADA has been selected to participate in Macy's Passport In-Store fundraiser on Saturday, September 29. Passport In-Store is a shopping event benefiting more than ten HIV/AIDS community organizations in the Las Vegas area, including Health Projects NEVADA. The day will be filled with activities such as special discounts, cooking demos, entertainment, giveaways, and the chance to win a $1000 Macy's shopping spree.
Passport In-Store is an innovative way for Macy's to extend the fundraising power of its annual, world-famous Passport fashion show and HIV/AIDS fundraiser, which has raised over $20 million for HIV/AIDS research, prevention, treatment and care to meet emerging needs.
Health Projects NEVADA will sell $10 tickets, which may be used at Macy's Fashion Show and Home Store during Passport In-Store, and will retain 100 percent of the proceeds.
In addition to Health Projects NEVADA's efforts to sell tickets, Macy's Fashion Show and Home Store employees will be involved in the fundraising event by selling tickets to their customers three weeks prior to Passport In-Store. Macy's will split all funds raised by their employees among participating charities. Macy's also will contribute an additional $3 to Health Projects NEVADA for every pre-sold ticket redeemed during Passport In-Store.
Health Projects NEVADA supporters who are unable to attend Passport In-Store or who want to avoid the crowds are invited to "pre-shop" beginning on September 19. Items purchased through pre-selection may be picked up beginning on Saturday, September 29 and ending on Friday, October 12.
For more information about Health Projects NEVADA's participation in Macy's Passport In-Store, to purchase your $10 ticket or to volunteer to sell tickets call 702-767-4667.
