Beginning Monday October 11th, you will be able to shop for a good cause in Kansas City and beyond as part of "Back in the Swing" week. For those of you who have not heard of this event, it is a week long fundraiser for breast cancer survivors post treatment care. You can buy a card for $25 that will get you up to 20% off at a HUGE list of participating retailers between October 11-17. The proceeds from your purchase of the card will all go to breast cancer survivors in the Kansas City area, but the savings are yours to keep!
This week is a great time to stock up on fall/winter clothing for your family if you haven't already purchased those sweaters and jackets. It is also not too early to start Christmas shopping! If your child has a HOT item on their wish list and you suspect you won't be able to find it on sale between now and Christmas, this week would be a great week to pick that up from a participating retailer at 20% off! Even if you don't have a lot of shopping to do, there are lots of restaurants, coffee shops, salons/spas, grocery stores, and even dry cleaners on the list...you can save on just about anything this week. And help a good cause while you are at it!
And an added bonus this year is that there are a number of participating shopping centers around the country, so even if you are not from Kansas City, you can check out the list here to see if any stores near you are participating.
So if you are in need of some retail therapy or if you just want to help out a good cause and get some savings in return, I encourage you to buy your card at one of the retailers on this list today and get shopping tomorrow!
(I posted about this last year, but it truly is one of my favorite events and I feel the need to post about it again for anyone who has never participated.)
