Line Up for $100 Gift Cards at Belk's Charity Sale

First 100 customers at Belk's at Gwinnett Place Mall at 6 a.m. Saturday, April 21, eligible for gift cards. $5 tickets for spring sale benefits local charities.

The first 100 customers to arrive at the Belk’s department store at Saturday, April 21, for the Spring Charity Sale from 6 to 10 a.m. will each receive $100 Belk gift cards. They also may win one of three $1,000 shopping cards to be awarded companywide.

The Spring Charity Sale is occurring at all 303 Belk’s stores in 16 states. The four-hour, in-store shopping event serves as a fundraising method for participating organizations that sell $5 tickets to their supporters. It’s also an opportunity for customers to give back to local nonprofits while taking advantage of special in-store discounts on purchases during the event.

Advance tickets were sold by the charities. Tickets will also be available at the store Saturday. Proceeds from store ticket sales will be divided up among the organizations. Shoppers with $5 tickets will get $5 off their first purchase.
