Macy's has a strong history of support for family violence prevention and awareness programs in many of the cities in which it operates. As part of their continued dedication in the fight against dating and domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse, Macy's is the founding national partner of the RESPECT! campaign℠. In support of the RESPECT! campaign, Macy's is the exclusive retailer of the RESPECT! Bracelet. The bracelet will be sold in Macy's stores nationwide and on macys.com beginning in September 2008. Half of the proceeds from the sale of each bracelet will benefit the RESPECT! campaign. Macy's will also donate a portion of all in-store proceeds from Macy's Shop for a Cause on September 20, 2008, to the Family Violence Prevention Fund.
As a not-for-profit company, they've made the awareness and prevention of domestic violence a priority for more than a decade. Through its Blue Shield of California Foundation, they've supported many community programs and shelters throughout the state.
Blue Shield is a lead supporter of the Family Violence Prevention Fund's International Center to End Violence. That's why they're joining RESPECT for solutions to ending domestic violence now.
One in three women will experience some form of abuse in her lifetime, and so it is critical to the RESPECT! Campaign℠ to ensure that women of all ages understand the issue and have an opportunity to participate in positive solutions. As one of the fastest-growing online networks for women, we were thrilled when Sugar, Inc., publisher of 18 women-focused sites, including PopSugarPopSugar, FabSugarFabSugar, DearSugarDearSugar and GeekSugarGeekSugar, agreed to join forces with us to help educate and empower their members to take a stand against dating and domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse. Together, we believe we can build a safer, healthier future for future generations.
