Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Palm Beach and Martin Counties, in partnership with Macy’s, recently held a private holiday experience with more than 100 children across Macy’s locations in Palm Beach and Martin counties. What began 16 years ago in Macy’s at Treasure Coast Square Mall has now become the catalyst for a statewide event.
A holiday tradition like no other, BBBS kids were invited to Macy’s stores in Boca Raton, Wellington, Palm Beach Gardens and Jensen Beach to participate in a magical morning with their families or their big brother/big sister. Kids received a holiday goody bag and a $50 gift card to shop before the store opened to the public. Next, they had breakfast, made arts and crafts, and everyone was a kid again as they played with toys from the Toys ’R’ Us in-store shop.
The kids went on a shopping spree to find gifts for their families and were able to wrap them in the store. As a thank-you, Macy’s received a special plaque signed by the kids, families and mentors. This holiday season, Macy’s customers can help fuel these life-changing mentoring experiences by donating online at www.macys.com or by rounding up their in-store purchases…
