According to the 2013 Partners Card Co-Chairs Annika Cail, Katy Duvall and Sara Friedman,
“It’s almost time for Partners Card again! We are so excited to announce the annual 10-day shopping fundraiser benefiting The Family Place will be held October 25 through November 3, 2013. There are so many wonderful retailers participating this year, we hope you will join us in supporting Partners Card and The Family Place as you are shopping for those fall must haves! As one of the most popular shopping events in the Dallas Metroplex, we wanted to remind everyone this fundraiser is the only sale where you truly save. That is, save lives and support the critical work of The Family Place, one of the longest-serving family violence service providers in the state.
“We are excited to announce some new things this year. With a 2013 Partners Card, Goodson Acura of Dallas will offer 10% off MSRP towards the purchase of all remaining 2013 TSX models. Goodson Acura of Dallas and Audi Dallas will also offer a 20% discount on service and parts. In addition, an Audi Dallas Ride & Drive event benefiting Partners Card will be held Saturday, October 26 from 10 to 5 p.m. at NorthPark Center, and a Goodson Acura Ride & Drive event will be held Sunday, October 27 at The Shops at Legacy from 12 to 5 p.m. Also new this year, Galleria Dallas will contribute $5 per Partners Card sold through a Galleria Dallas retailer.
“We are also excited about this year’s honorary co-chairs, Beth Rafferty and her daughter Shay Geyer of IBB Design Fine Furnishings. IBB is an award-winning, all-inclusive design firm and home furnishings store that features everything from classic traditional to more traditional/contemporary looks. Beth, a well-known interior designer and founder of IBB, along with her daughter Shay, a professional interior designer since 2001, are adamant about giving back to the community and have supported The Family Place for many years.
“Over the past 20 years, Partners Card has become the largest fundraiser for The Family Place and is one of the most popular shopping events in the Dallas Metroplex. In 2012, Partners Card celebrated its 20th anniversary with more than 750 participating retailers and restaurants selling 14,600 cards and raising $1,115,854 for The Family Place. In its history, the community has helped raise more than $13 million through the Partners Card program.
“Partners Card is a 10-day shopping spectacular that rewards cardholders with unbelievable savings at some of Dallas’ top stores and restaurants. With the purchase of a $70 Partners Card, shoppers receive 20 percent savings at more than 750 participating retailers in Dallas, Arlington, Grapevine, McKinney, Plano, Southlake, Richardson, Frisco, Coppell, Flower Mound, Denton, Colleyville, Las Colinas, Irving, Mesquite, Addison, Garland, Rockwall and Lewisville. One hundred percent of the sale of the $70 Partners Card goes directly to The Family Place and has helped it grow into one of the longest-serving family violence service providers in the state.
“Individuals may purchase a Partners Card from any participating retailer or restaurant, card-selling individual, direct mail or visit www.partnerscard.org. Partners Cards will go on sale September 1, 2013. For more information, contact the Partners Card Hotline at 214.443.7754 or email [email protected].
