FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kids get Back to School Shopping Spree at JC Penney at Yuba Sutter Mall
Yuba City, CA, July 26, 2010 – The Sutter-Yuba Association of Realtors is hosting its annual Back to School shopping spree for 100 local children on July 31st, at the Yuba Sutter Mall JC Penney store.
Children were selected to take part based on their families’ need, according to Luz Howe, one of the event coordinators. The Sutter-Yuba Realtors Association works with the schools in both Yuba and Sutter counties to identify the students that will participate in the shopping spree. “This is one of our biggest charitable events of the year, and it is solely for our local school children,” says Howe.
The children will arrive at Yuba Sutter Mall, check in at the food court and receive a breakfast provided by The Brick Coffeehouse and Yuba Sutter Mall. Each child will then be paired up with a volunteer chaperone – shopping-helper extraordinaire – to help them find their back to school clothes at JC Penney.
The shopping spree was made possible by a joint fundraiser between the Sutter-Yuba Association of Realtors and Yuba Sutter Chamber of Commerce. Several local businesses and community members donated gifts for a live and silent auction, with all proceeds going to fund this Saturday’s shopping spree. JC Penney has also been a major contributor to this back to school event for the second year in a row.
