What: The Family Place Partners Card 25th Anniversary Kick-Off Party presented by Bank of Texas

Where: Highland Park Village

PC Moment: This year, Partners Card — The Family Place’s signature event, wherein patrons purchase a Partners Card for $70 and receive a 20 percent discount at hundreds of stores and restaurants throughout Dallas — turns 25 years old. To celebrate the milestone (save the date: October 27 thru November 5), Partners Card co-chairs Brynn Bagot Allday and Jennifer Burns, along with honorary chairs and Ylang 23 owners Joanne and Charles Teichman, helped kick things off with a shopping soiree at Highland Park Village.

The event proved a perfect eve to shop (dozens of Highland Park Village retailers, including Madison, Market, Hadleigh’s and more offered discounts to VIP guests), chat (everyone was abuzz about the new Partners Card app), and party (DJ Jennifer Miller spun tunes, and Lomdardi’s Family Concepts provided bites). Few organizations do shopping for a cause quite like this famed discount card.

Fashionable Philanthropists: The Family Place’s Melissa Sherrill Martin, Paige Flink, Heather Street Baker, and Grace Dewar; past Partners Card chairs Lisa Bhattacharya, Andrea Cheek, Samantha Wortley, Diane Fullingim, Maggie Cook Kipp, Lynn McBee, and Diana Hamilton.
