Upcoming at Borders: $15 donation to public schools with any in-store purchase


On December 4 at Borders retail locations, all customers who make a purchase of any amount will receive a $15 Gift Card to donate to the various public school projects at DonorsChoose.org, as reported by CBSNews.com. Even better, customers who purchase Waiting for Superman: How We Can Save America’s Failing Public Schools (pictured), the companion book to the documentary of the same name, will receive two $15 Gift Cards. That's the first such offer we've seen from Borders. After receiving your gift card, you can dispense the credit however you like on the DonorsChoose.org website, which benefits public schools nationwide. Deal ends December 5.
