Lord & Taylor Memorial Day Weekend Charity Shopping Event To Benefit The USO

NEW YORK, May 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Lord & Taylor is proud to announce a Memorial Day weekend charitable shopping event to benefit the USO. From May 27 through May 30, all 50 Lord & Taylor stores will participate in an effort to raise funds for the USO, a leading nonprofit organization that serves America's service members and their families. Founded in 1941, the USO has supported more than 35 million Americans to-date and operates more than 180 locations globally.

"Lord & Taylor and our customers have proudly supported our nation's service members and their families throughout the years. In fact, since 1980 we begin each day in our stores by demonstrating our patriotism through the playing of the National Anthem," said Liz Rodbell, president, Hudson's Bay and Lord & Taylor. "This Memorial Day weekend, we continue that tradition in our first partnership with the USO."

"While we reflect on sacrifices of our nation's military during Memorial Day weekend, we are glad Lord & Taylor customers will be able to show their support for our men and women in uniform," said Michael Hoar, USO Vice President of Corporate Alliance. "Partnerships like this are important because they help the USO provide services and programs at our locations around the world."

With the purchase of a $5 ticket, customers receive one 25%-off storewide savings pass (10% off of fragrances) for use May 27 through May 30 only (some exclusions apply). Tickets are available for purchase now at all Lord & Taylor stores. The full $5 cost of each ticket sale will go to the USO. Customers with a valid military ID, service members, and their families will be able to take advantage of the offer without purchasing a ticket.

Additionally, LordandTaylor.com shoppers who utilize the promo code 'GIVE' will receive 25% off of purchases when they spend $200 or more, and 20% off of purchases when they spend up to $199.99. The online offer is also available from May 27 through May 30 only. 1% of LordandTaylor.com sales received during the four-day promotion will be donated to the USO, up to a maximum of $10,000.
