Belk’s Fall Charity Sale will support local charities and offer large discounts for customers who come in from 6-10 a.m. Nov. 5.

The Gainesville Belk is located at Lakeshore Mall on Pearl Nix Parkway.

Purchasing a $5 ticket will allow customers to receive discounts ranging from 15 percent to 70 percent during the 4-hour sale. They will also receive a $5 credit on one of their purchases, offsetting the cost of the ticket.

Charities receive 100 percent of proceeds from each $5 ticket sold.

The first 100 customers in each store on the morning of the charity sale will receive free Belk gift cards ranging in value from $5 to $100, plus a chance to win one of three $1,000 Belk gift cards awarded companywide.

Charity Sale tickets are now being sold by participating nonprofit organizations, and tickets may also be purchased at Belk stores. A presale for the sale also began Tuesday. All revenues from in-store ticket purchases are equally divided among participating charities and schools in each local store.

Also, all Charity Sale participants will be entered into a drawing to win one of three $1,000 cash awards — one in each of the three Belk operating divisions — for their school or nonprofit organization.

Last year, the two Belk Charity Sale events raised more than $12 million for thousands of schools and community nonprofit organizations in Belk markets.
