Macy’s Campaign 2019

Campaign Overview

Since 2013, Macy’s has helped to raise awareness, pride, appreciation and more than $11 million for America’s veterans and military families. For the year of 2019, Macy’s was supporting Blue Star Families & Bunker Labs through a round-up campaign held in stores from July 1-18, 2019, which is timed to coincide with the celebration of Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks® Show. The campaign recognized how these two organizations have helped veterans and military families and supports their continued missions.
