A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts Helps Boys & Girls Club Members Dream Big With Month-Long Fundraising Initiative

BERLIN, N.J., Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the next couple of months, youth across the country will be encouraged to "Dream Big" and to creatively share their dreams.  Throughout September and October, all 135 A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts stores will continue their focus on local communities with the Fall "Crafting A Better World™" program in support of Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

From Sept. 12 – Oct. 16, A.C. Moore (Nasdaq: ACMR) will hold a fundraising and craft supply drive, and host creativity events for Boys & Girls Club members, where they  will make their own "dream boards" to help set and inspire their personal, educational and life goals.  On Sept. 25, A.C. Moore is inviting all children, ages 4 – 12, to make their own dream board during a FREE crafting event from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m.  For store locations, visit www.acmoore.com.

During this month-long initiative, A.C. Moore is also asking customers to help in their support of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, a national network of some 4,000 neighborhood-based Clubs serving more than 4.2 million young people annually through membership and community outreach.  Customers can add $1 or more to their bill at check out and drop off new or gently used craft supplies to be donated to local Boys & Girls Clubs.

"Crafting a Better World has grown exponentially since its launch just last year and has made a significant impact on communities in which we do business throughout the Eastern United States," said David Abelman, Chief Merchandising and Marketing Officer for A.C. Moore. "Boys & Girls Clubs address critical issues that are important to youth and families today, and since the donations stay in the locales in which it is collected, our customers can be assured that they are supporting their communities and truly creating a better world."

Since its inception in September 2009, A.C. Moore's "Crafting a Better World" campaign has raised more than $250,000 for organizations serving children and families.  A.C. Moore schedules free field trips and activities for children and active adults in a variety of groups including classes, scout troops, senior centers and other organizations.  For details or go to www.acmoore.com.
