WARD CENTERS OFFERS FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY FOR NONPROFITS AND SCHOOL GROUPS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 2/1/09 - Following the success of Festival of Giving, Ward Centers is offering nonprofit organizations and school groups another great opportunity to raise money for their causes during Friends+Family+Community ReWARDS weekend, April 24-26, 2009. Participating nonprofit groups will begin selling tickets for Ward Centers’ Friends+Family+Community ReWARDS in mid-February and keep 100 percent of their ticket proceeds. The $5 tickets give shoppers exclusive discounts and special offers from participating shops and restaurants throughout Ward Centers, just in time for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and graduation. Nonprofits who are interested in participating are urged to attend an informational meeting at the Ward Warehouse Kaka‘ako Conference Room on Wednesday, February 11 at 9 a.m.

"Due to the state of the economy, we know that fundraising for nonprofits has become more challenging," said Diane Bruce, marketing manager, Ward Centers. "We invite Hawai‘i’s charitable organizations to take advantage of this fundraising opportunity."

Friends+Family+Community ReWARDS is Ward Centers’ second major fundraiser for local charities and school groups. In addition to the exclusive discounts and special offers, shoppers with a ReWARDS ticket will enjoy free family activities, gift-with-purchase and enter-to-win prizes. To participate in ReWARDS, or for more information, please contact Heidi Kuia at 591-8411.
