I dont mean to be a dark cloud over this but I purposly never shop Belk because they sale Fur. Real Fur.

I think its a good idea too. I just see the name BELK and I go nuts !!

We have looked into this in previous years and the problem we had was getting people to sell the Belks cards. At my work there are several people who do this and they told me it wasn't very profitable unless you had people who would get the cards sold.

Do you know if they charity has to purchase the cards up front? And if they do will Belks refund for any unsold cards?

(As for fur, my Mom had a fur coat that she would wear to church. When she passed I took the fur coat and had it made into teddy bears for my sister-in-laws and nieces. Sprayed a little White Linen on the bear and it was as if Mom was still there. I most say though that a real fur bear and dogs don't go together. Jasmine got mine, he is missing an eye now.)
