Harmons PTA Day

2009 PTA Day Store DecorationsEach year we sponsor a PTA Day and donate a portion of our sales to local schools. To encourage the community to shop at our stores that day, we work with local Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) and invite students, parents and teachers to help us by decorating our stores and even helping to bag groceries. Over the past 22 years, our customers have raised nearly $700,000 for schools in our communities. The 2012 PTA Day will be on Thursday, February 9th.

The 22nd Annual Harmons PTA Day was held on Thursday, February 10th, 2011. Our goal was to raise $50,000 for 64 different area schools, from Ogden to St. George, taking part in this year's event. All 13 Harmons locations offered special sale prices on items throughout the store and donated five percent of the net sales per store to the local schools. Fun activities and games for kids and families were held from noon to 7pm.

In addition to PTA Day, Harmons also encouraged customers to help young readers by donating no longer needed books. Customers could drop off books to Reading Tree book bins at 12 Harmons locations from Ogden to Orem. The non-profit organization accepts new and used books and Harmons' collections bins have generated more than 27 tons of books to be donated since collection started in 2010.
