Summerfest is pleased to announce the continuation of its partnership
with Kohl’s
Department Stores (NYSE: KSS) through its Kohl’s Cares® program with
the return of the Kohl’s Captivation Station and Kohl’s Family Day to
Summerfest 2014. For the past four years, Summerfest and Kohl’s Cares
have offered educational, fun art and music experiences for children of
all ages and their families, as well as the opportunity for patrons to
gain free admission to the festival.
As part of Kohl’s Family Day, on Sunday, June 29 from Noon – 3:00
p.m., the first 2,500 patrons who donate three (3) non-perishable
food items for kids will receive one (1) FREE Summerfest admission
ticket valid for that day. The popular promotion has been successful in
raising thousands of pounds of food donations for Hunger Task Force over
the years and will once again support the organization.
“Kohl’s is proud to partner with Summerfest to provide families free
access to the festival on Kohl’s Family Day,” said Bevin Bailis, Kohl’s
senior vice president, communications and public relations. “We are
thrilled to bring back the Kohl’s Captivation Station, where families
can create, play and explore together with activities and performances
from some of our favorite Milwaukee partners.”
