Mark your calendars because The Family Place has announced its dates for its beloved 28th fundraiser. The Partners Card fundraiser, a 10-day charity shopping and dining event, will take place from October 30 to November 8.
“This year has been challenging for many nonprofits. However, there’s no doubt that with this group leading the charge and championing the incredible work done at The Family Place, this year’s fundraiser will be the most successful yet despite COVID-19!” says Paige Flink, CEO of The Family Place, via press release.
Lexie Aderhold, Tully Phillips and Sally Pretorius Hodge will chair the 2020 event, and lifestyle blogger Tanya Foster will be this year’s honorary chair.
The Partners Card, available for $75, will give cardholders a 20% discount at participating retailers and 10% discount at participating restaurants over the 10-day period. And 100% of card purchases will support The Family Place’s programs and services for victims of family violence.
In 2019, this fundraiser raised more than $1 million with more than 14,000 cards sold, according to a press release. And last year, more than 50 participants joined the already more than 750 brands that are a part of this annual event. Plus, increased online shopping locations helped the event grow.
“We are hoping to bring on even more e-commerce participants this year. As more people lean into shopping online during this time, we want to have a wide range of retailers available online for people to still get their Partners Card deals without having to shop in-store,” The Family Place development manager Grace Dewar says via press release.
Kick-off events for this fundraiser have not been announced yet, so be sure to check out the fundraiser's website for more information as the event approaches.
