Funds benefitted more than 1.1 million students providing them with educational materials to better learn and succeed.
Burlington Coat Event: Delivering Good Burlington’s Coat Event launched during the 2023 holiday season. For the first 50,000 coats purchased in Burlington Stores for a period of time in November, Burlington donated a new coat to a child in need locally in our communities nationwide thanks to our partnership with the national non-profit organization, Delivering Good. Additionally, those customers that purchased a coat during that time in November, received 10% off their entire purchase in December, a few weeks leading up to the holiday.
Fundacion Infantil Ronald McDonald Puerto Rico Each holiday season, Burlington stores in Puerto Rico host a holiday toy drive to bring smiles to children and their families at Fundacion Infantil Ronald McDonald. As a thank you to Burlington customers that donate, they receive 10% off their entire purchase. Since the Toy Drive commenced in 2013, more than 100,000 toys have been collected and donated.

The non-profit organization supports opportunity youth who are neither in school nor employed, and helps them to pursue their education, prepare for future careers, and grow into community leaders.

Select Burlington Associates volunteer to mentor these young women, while also empowering the communities that Burlington serves.
