Sears Brings Home Multiple Prestigious Industry Honors

Sears was among the top winners at the RACie awards in San Francisco on March 3 -- taking home ten awards including the Peter Glen Award for Sears' Heroes at Home program which has raised more than $20 million and helped more than 50,000 military families. The Peter Glen award is given to companies who give back to their community or environment in a unique way.
