ACS Annual Fund and Missions Club Receive Donations from Boscov’s Fall “Friends Helping Friends” Event

Thank you to our school family and friends who participated in the Boscov’s “Friends Helping Friends” charitable shopping event in October 2020, which resulted in donations to the ACS Annual Fund and the ACS Missions Club.

Boscov’s recently donated $289.27 to the ACS Annual Fund, which represented 5% of the total purchases made by shoppers on October 14 and 15.  Shoppers who mentioned the ACS Missions Club as their charity resulted in Boscov’s donating $87.47  for the Club. The donation checks were received in late January 2021.

Boscov’s reported that the fall 2020 event raised over $500,000 to give back to some 3,900 non-profit organizations that participated in the fundraiser. This was the 24th year that Boscov’s has sponsored this event as a way to help non-profits in the communities where its stores are located.

Support ACS by Shopping at Boscov’s on Oct. 14-15

Boscov’s is once again sponsoring its “Friends Helping Friends” charitable shopping event on October 14 and 15 — and if you mention Atlantic Christian School by name in the store at the register or online at check-out, Boscov’s will donate 5% of your total purchase to ACS.  The big shopping event will be two days this year — October 14 and 15 — from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.  There are no tickets or shopping passes to purchase in advance, just shop on those two days and mention ACS and we’ll get the donation.

To further attract customers on those days, Boscov’s will be giving shoppers a 20% discount off of their lowest sale prices both in-store and online. With the health and safety of workers and customers in mind, Boscov’s has modified the event to extend over two days to avoid crowding and allow for social distancing.

The Boscov’s Friends Helping Friends event has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for local non-profit organizations over the past 23 years and this year they hope to give away $1 million, according to Boscov’s Chairman and CEO Jim Boscov. Thank you for supporting ACS with this shopping opportunity and please encourage your family members and friends to participate as well.
