Shop till you drop at a discount while giving back to the community in a big way.<\/p>\n

The Board of Visitors<\/a> has announced its 14th<\/sup> Annual Care Card Shopping Event from October 18 \u2013 27 with the mantra of \u201cShop, Save and Give.\u201d<\/p>\n

When you buy a $60 Care Card, enjoy 20 percent off entire purchases from more than 600 participating retailers, like J.Crew, Williams-Sonoma, Tory Burch, lululemon athletica and more. All Care Card proceeds will be donated directly to UMOM New Day Centers<\/a>, Arizona\u2019s largest homeless shelter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis program is very unique in that it helps all the retailers in our communities, gives cardholders a benefit of 20 percent off and also helps a designated grant recipient,\u201d said Ann Watts, The Board of Visitors Care Card co-chair. \u201cEverybody benefits from all different walks of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Every two years, The Board of Visitors elects a local nonprofit to be a grant recipient. Proceeds from the 2012 and 2013 Care Card have and will continue to provide medical, dental and vision care at UMOM, the organization’s current grant recipient.<\/p>\n

Watts said that most participating retailers at Scottsdale Fashion Square<\/a>, Biltmore Fashion Park<\/a> and Kierland Commons<\/a> will honor the Care Card before the official October 18 kickoff.<\/p>\n

The Board of Visitors has tirelessly worked to donate $16 million to serve the greater health care needs of women, children and the elderly in Phoenix. Just last year, the organization donated $1 million to local non-profits.<\/p>\n
