ALTOONA, Pa (WJAC) — Boscov's stores around the area are encouraging local nonprofit organizations to register for their "Friends Helping Friends" campaign.

"Friends Helping Friends" raises funds for local nonprofits by donating a percentage of Boscov's sales, on a specified date, to the organizations.

Nonprofit organizations have until Sept. 30 to register to participate in the fundraiser event, which will be held on Oct. 14-15.

On those days, shoppers are encouraged to mention the name of the registered nonprofit that they are supporting, at check-out, and Boscov's will donate 5% of the sale to the aforementioned organization.

Shoppers will also receive 20% most sales on those dates.
