SOUTH PORTLAND — Bon-Ton will host the semi-annual Community Days events in all its stores on Friday, Nov. 14 and Saturday, Nov. 15 to benefit local organizations, as well as the American Heart Association. Organizations can sign up now at www.communitydayevent.com.

Leading up to Community Days, participating local nonprofit organizations can sell coupon booklets to supporters in their communities and online, increasing awareness of the organization, raising funds and giving customers the opportunity to shop at Bon-Ton with exclusive discounts.

“We take pride in supporting our local communities here at Bon-Ton,” said Steve Byers, vice president of stores for Bon-Ton. “Giving back is part of our culture and the semi-annual Community Days event gives our customers the opportunity to support local organizations while enjoying special discounts at Bon-Ton.”

When an organization completes the online registration, they will receive a unique code that can be shared on the organization’s website, via email and on social media platforms. Whether supporters purchase the $5 coupon booklet from an organization member or with the code, the organization will keep 100 percent of the donation.

From now through Saturday, Nov. 15, customers can purchase the $5 coupon booklets in stores and online at www.bonton.com. Customers have the choice to donate to any participating organization or the American Heart Association. In return, the purchaser will receive a $10 off coupon, as well as a booklet that contains a 30 percent off shopping pass and more than $500 in special coupons to use at any Bon-Ton store during the two-day event.
