Description

Scottsdale Fashion Square is providing shoppers a win-win chance to get a jump on their holiday shopping while benefitting deserving local nonprofit organizations with the annual Shop It Forward program, sponsored by Eve Treger. This grassroots community program allows participating nonprofits to earn points from qualified purchases based on their final points ranking among other participating nonprofits. Ultimately, Scottsdale Fashions Square will award a combined $25,000 to this year’s six participating organizations.

Customers can shop, dine and enjoy entertainment at Scottsdale Fashion Square, then submit their receipts to earn points toward donations ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. Every purchase made at Scottsdale Fashion Square during the program, which runs now through Thursday, Dec. 15, will receive 5 points per $1.00 spent. Bonus points (10 points per $1.00) are available for purchases from select jewelry, shoes and accessories retailers from Nov. 14-Nov. 23; home, family, lifestyle and entertainment retailers from Nov. 24-Dec. 4; and luxury retailers from Dec. 5-Dec. 15. In addition, families visiting Santa can earn triple points on any photo package purchase from Nov. 17-Dec. 15.

Shoppers can log their receipts and select their nonprofit online at www.fashionsquare.com.
