SUPPORT OUR TROOPS WHEN SHOPPING JCPENNEY IN JULY

Shoppers Invited to Round-up Their Purchases and Donate

Change to Benefit the USO 

WHAT: As America celebrates Independence Day this month, JCPenney customers can help support our

men and women in uniform who make our freedom possible by rounding up their purchases to

support the USO (United Service Organizations), a nonprofit, Congressionally chartered, private

organization dedicated to lifting the spirits of America’s troops and their families. One hundred

percent of the proceeds raised through customers’ “round-up” donations will benefit USO

programs and services our troops and their families. Along with round-up donations raised by

customers throughout the month of July, JCPenney will be making a $1 million donation to the

USO.

WHY: For more than 70 years, the USO has been providing a tangible way for Americans to thank our

troops and their families. Through its more than 160 locations worldwide and innovative

programs and services the USO provides troops serving in combat and their families with a

touch of home and ways to stay connected during lengthy deployments, as well as critical

support to our wounded ill and injured and their families and families of the fallen. By simply

rounding up their purchases this month, JCPenney customers can make a huge difference in

helping the USO express our nation’s gratitude to our troops and their families.

WHEN: From July 1-31 customers will be able to round-up their purchases at JCPenney. Along with its
