Belk’s Charity Day

We are currently selling tickets for Belk’s Charity Day on May 3rd. Tickets are $5.00 each and all proceeds go to the Council. Shoppers will get their $5.00 back with their fist purchase as well as huge discounts.

Tickets will be available at your Service Unit meetings or contact your MMC or the Tallahassee Service Center to purchase tickets. Don’t forget to purchase tickets for friends and family!

All Belks are participating so family members from other cities can buy tickets and shop at their own Belk. We have Belks in Tallahassee , Destin, and Pensacola as well as in Georgia (Bainbridge etc.) You can go to http://www.belk.com/main/stores.jsp to find a store near you.
