Thanks to a special Target promotion, Bullseye Gives, Facebook users have a new opportunity to help the kids of St. Jude. Target has earmarked $3 million to be distributed to St. Jude and other charity partners, and Facebook users will determine how much of the $3 million each charity receives.
Here’s how it works: For two weeks starting May 10, Target will feature St. Jude and nine other national charities on the Target Facebook page. Facebook users who visit www.facebook.com/target can vote once a day for the charity of their choice. All votes and the dollars allocated for each charity will be updated in real time on the Target Facebook page during the campaign.
On May 26, Target will announce the final donations to each charity, based on the percentage of the vote each charity received. So if St. Jude receives 50 percent of the votes, the Target gift to St. Jude would be $1.5 million.
Since 1946, Target Corporation has donated 5 percent of its income to support charities in communities throughout the nation. Today, that giving equals more than $3 million a week.
The Bullseye Gives promotion runs from May 10-25 ... go to www.facebook.com/target every day to cast your vote for St. Jude. Tell a friend and help the kids of St. Jude.
