Care Card

The 2008 Care Card, which benefits Family & Children's Services (F&CS), goes on sale Oct. 13 at more than 170 Tulsa-area merchants. Care Cards sell for $50 and provide a 20 percent* discount on merchandise at Tulsa-area stores during a designated shopping "week," set for Nov. 1-9 this year. The shopping "week" actually stretches over nine days, encompassing two full weekends.

More than 170 of Tulsa's finest retailers, restaurants and food merchants participate in Care Card week. Sponsors for Care Card are TulsaPeople magazine, Tulsa World, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma, Saint Francis Health System, Moody's Jewelry and John Daniel Footwear.

Care Cards are sold at many participating stores, Family & Children's Services Central Office, 650 S. Peoria, and by community volunteers.
