Thanks for Sharing gives Macy’s shoppers the opportunity to do their holiday shopping and also help make wishes come true for children with life-threatening medical conditions. Beginning Sept. 20, shoppers may enroll in the Thanks for Sharing program for $25, enabling them to receive a reward card valued at 10 percent of most of their Macy's card purchases* made through Dec. 31. The rewards will come in the form of a reward card sent to participants beginning in February 2009. For each Thanks for Sharing enrollment made, Macy’s will donate $10 to charity, with the first $1.5 million nationwide to benefit the American Heart Association. Macy's will donate additional funds raised to the Make-A-Wish Foundation^® and other charities. *Terms and conditions apply, see store for details.

Write a letter to Santa and help make wishes come true. Starting November 9, bring your stamped letter to Macy’s addressed to Santa At The North Pole, and drop it into the special Santa letterbox. The letters will be counted, and for each letter received, Macy’s will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation up to $1,000,000. The letters will be brought to the Post Office for mailing to Santa.
