It's time again for Partners Card week, the annual fundraising project of the volunteer auxiliary of the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS).

More than 190 shops and restaurants in central and northwest Arkansas will offer discounts for Partners Card holders, valid from Oct. 24-Nov. 2. For those 10 days, shoppers and diners who purchase the $50 cards will receive a 20 percent discount at the participating locations.

You can view the full list of participating retailers and restaurants on their website here. A few of our favorites include The Toggery, Whippersnappers, Good Earth Garden Center, The Painted Pig, Wordsworth Books and Company, Damgoode Pies, Beyond Cotton II, Cynthia East Fabrics, Pigtails & Crewcuts and many more.

All proceeds from the sale of the Partners Card benefit the Cancer Institute auxiliary and are used to fund projects for cancer patients in Arkansas.
