Give Twice With Borders Holiday Donation Deal

Bookstore to donate $15 gift card to local schools with every purchase.

Having three children—ages 8, 13 and 17—reminds me every day what these economic times have done to our schools, so I am always looking for a way to help. Well, this weekend I have a new and easy way to help donate $15 to the school of my choice. So I thought I would share it here at Patch because I know many others also want to help.

Make any type of in-store purchase at any Borders location—must be an in-store purchase, sorry no online buys this time—then take your receipt/certificate and log on to the Internet-based schools charity www.donorschoose.org.

Enter your zip code and select from a list of schools in your area and that school gets a $15 gift card, thanks to you.

The best part of all is the purchase can be any amount, you can even buy a cookie from the in-house coffee stand at Borders and be able to make a $15 donation to your school through donorschoose.org.

Closest in proximity to Roxborough and Manayunk are the Borders stores in Wynnewood (80 East Wynnewood Road), Bryn Mawr (Rosemont Shopping Center), and Plymouth Meeting (500 W Germantown Pike, Space 1090).
