U.S. Malls prepare for Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is almost here, and U.S. malls are getting reader to pamper all their lovely local moms.
Grossmont Center is looking for a Picture Perfect Mom. The center approached local schools to submit students’ drawings of their mothers. Over 6000 La Mesa elementary and middle school students submitted their personal drawings, which are being voted on by the public. Nine drawings will be chosen as winners, and the student winners will get perfect gifts to give to their moms. For moms who aren’t the subject of winning portraits, the center has free cupcakes and flowers.
Meanwhile, Oakland Mall is using Mother’s Day as an opportunity to do more than pamper – it’s hoping to help local mothers who really need a hand. For a few weeks leading up to Mother’s Day, the center has been tabulating Likes on its Facebook page. For each milestone (every 500 Likes between 3000 to 5000), center retailers have pledged to make donations to Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries, which helps homeless people in the city get back on their feet. Oakland Mall is also collecting donations for the non-profit from shoppers who want to help out.
What are your center’s Mother’s Day plans? Let us know in the comments.
