What is Community Day?

Community Day is our annual fundraising event designed to provide 501c3 schools and nonprofit organizations with a fun and easy way to raise money. Since 1999, the event has raised over $53 million!

When is it?
Community Day takes place on Saturday, November 15th, 2008, at our family of stores: Bon-Ton, Elder-Beerman, Bergner’s, Boston Store, Carson’s, Herberger’s, Younkers, and Parisian. Stores open early, 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 15th.

What will customers receive in each booklet?
With each $5 coupon booklet purchase, customers receive:
  • One $10 coupon, good toward any item of $10 or more (exclusions apply)
  • Eight additional coupons, each good for up to 20% off one item (exclusions apply)—in addition to our special One Day Sale prices. See our sample booklet.

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?
No, there is no minimum. However, there are rewards for the organizations that sell the most.

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/organization uniforms or t-shirts may be worn.
  • 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 Event Coordinator 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!
