The literacy organization Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) and Macy's teamed up to launch Book A Brighter Future, which has become an annual promotion held at Macy's stores during the back-to-school season. The campaign raises money for local RIF programs, providing reading resources to children who need them most. From July 1 through August 31, if you give $3 for RIF at a Macy's store, Macy's will donate 100 percent of that contribution to RIF, and you will receive a coupon for $10 off a $50 in-store purchase. Last year, Book a Brighter Future raised more than $3 million for children who lack access to books. RIF programs operate in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam.

I agree! I don't ordinarily like shopping, but this would help ease the pain, I think, and it make it worthwhile.
