Members Awarded With $100 ChildSpree From Mervyns

Store Donates $2000 To Benefit Students Going Back To School

The Mervyns located at 13092 Harbor Boulevard, Garden Grove is providing $2000 for students to go on their own Back to School Shopping as part of their annual "Childspree" program.

Twenty members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Garden Grove have been selected based to participate in the ChildSpree based on their family need. These members will be able to shop with their parents for new clothes, shoes, and accessories including a 15% discount at the checkout. The event will take place Saturday, July 28 before the store opens for business.

"We are grateful to Mervyns for helping our youth with their Back to School Shopping." said Paul V. Ramirez, Family Support Director at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Garden Grove. "Many of our families do not have the resources to buy new clothes every school year."
