Belk Charity Day Ticket Sales Chairperson
FILLED - THANK YOU, MIA!
Twice a year, normally May and in November, Belk Department store generously sponsors Charity Days where participating organizations have the opportunity to sell Charity Day Tickets out in the community and keep all the moneys derived from those sales. This is an easy one! All that the chairperson needs to do is get the tickets out to our membership to sell or help coordinate sales in the community. On the day of the sale, the Chairperson and two other volunteers man a table inside Belk for one 2 hour shift. This money goes to our operating budget and for consumer events.
