Raise funds for the Louisville Zoo by shopping at Macy’s
 

You can help the Louisville Zoo just by shopping at Macy’s on Saturday, April 25.

The Louisville Zoo is proud to be a beneficiary of Macy’s “One Good Turn” charity shopping event which will raise much-needed funds to support your Zoo.

Simply buy a $5 Shop-for-a-Cause voucher at the Zoo ticket window now through April 25. Then present the voucher at Macy’s on April 25 and you’ll get two great offers: $5 off* a one-time $15 purchase PLUS an all-day shopping pass worth 10%-20% off* most purchases storewide. (*Some exclusions apply. See pass for details.) 

All the proceeds raised from the $5 Shop-for-a-Cause voucher bought at the Louisville Zoo will benefit the Zoo’s great work in conservation, education and animal care that help better the bond between people and our planet.

In 2008, Macy’s “One Good Turn” campaign raised nearly $2.7 million for parks nationwide. This year’s campaign is designed to inspire a renewed interest in protecting and preserving zoos and aquariums and to heighten environmental awareness among Macy’s customers.

Macy’s knows how important zoos are to the well-being of communities and believes that zoos provide peaceful gathering places for residents to enjoy nature and connect with our shared environment. Macy’s is committed to contributing to a healthier, more vibrant place to live.

Be sure to support the Louisville Zoo by purchasing your $5 Shop-for-a-Cause voucher today and shop at Macy’s on April 25th!
