JC Penney Customers Contribute $840,000 for Afterschool Programs

Last month, the JCPenney Corporation embarked on their Afterschool Round-Up Campaign. Over a 10-day period, JCPenney customers had the option of rounding up the amount of the purchases to the nearest whole dollar and donate the difference to JCPenney's Afterschool Fund. As a result, customers donated $840,000 in which JCPenney contributed an additional $500,000 to make available $1.3M for afterschool programs nationally.
