Sponsored Edition: Reward Yourself

It's said that you only get as much as you give. And that's usually true. In life — and in shopping.

But this weekend, that whole equation gets turned upside down. At Ward Centers' Friends+Family+Community ReWARDS Weekend, you only give a little and then get a whole lot more.

Here's how it works: Just buy a ReWARDS ticket for $5. The proceeds benefit one of the nearly 40 nonprofits selling the tickets (each organization keeps 100 percent of the ticket sales money). Then, take your ticket to Ward Centers, April 9 to 11, and use it to get deals, discounts, gifts with purchase, and other special offers at numerous Ward Centers stores. (The full list of deals is here.)

While you shop, check out the live entertainment, enter to win Ward Centers gift cards, and even get a free tote with a $100 purchase.

Talk about a rewarding experience.
