Macy's to Match Donations for Holiday Park

Heart Your Park Ends March 31
 
Fort Lauderdale - The City of Fort Lauderdale's Holiday Park, located at 1150 G. Harold Martin Drive, has been selected for "Heart Your Park," a program introduced as part of Macy's "Secret Garden" campaign that aims to raise awareness and dollars for local parks across the country.
 
Through March 31, customers at Macy's Galleria store, located at 2314 E. Sunrise Boulevard, can donate $1 or more at the register, with 100 percent of the donations benefiting Holiday Park. To further spread the love, Macy's will match the total customer donation, dollar for dollar, up to $250,000 in total.
 
Holiday Park is one of more than 550 parks nationwide that will benefit from Macy's "Heart Your Park" this spring. In partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), the national non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of community parks, recreation and conservation, Macy's stores across the country have each selected a local park or green space in their community to support through the program.
 
"Heart Your Park" is part of Macy's "Secret Garden" spring campaign that will come to life at Macy's stores and on www.macys.com with an infusion of garden-inspired merchandise, special promotions and events.
