2024 Partners Card co-chairs Elizabeth Ward Creel and Tiffany Moon, along with honorary chair Nancy Bierman, The Family Place CEO Tiffany Tate and board chairman Harold Ginsburg, were joined by nearly 40 volunteers, sponsors, sellers and retailers to kick off the Partners Card selling season on Wednesday, September 25 from 5-7 p.m. at Veronica Beard in Highland Park Village.
Attendees, several of whom arrived donning Veronica Beard attire, enjoyed spicy margaritas and light bites while mingling and browsing the timeless fashion staples, with 15% of sales benefiting The Family Place. Those who volunteered to sell Partners Cards, including top sellers Paula Davis, Debbie Snell, and Cass and Sara Robinson, picked up essentials to begin selling, while other guests purchased their Partners Card in preparation for the shopping extravaganza, which takes place Friday, October 25 through Sunday, November 3, 2024.
Midway through the event, Ward Creel and Moon gathered guests for brief remarks, thanking all for attending and for supporting Partners Card, which is The Family Place’s largest annual fundraiser. They also added their gratitude to honorary chair and board member of The Family Place, Nancy Bierman; to Bank of Texas for serving as the presenting sponsor for the 16th year; and to Veronica Beard and Highland Park Village for their support. Moon also invited guests to purchase their ticket to the Partners Card kickoff brunch at Eataly on Oct. 25.
Tate wrapped up the comments by expressing her appreciation to all guests, including, “We are looking forward to a very successful year!”
