The Family Place is excited to announce that Elizabeth Dacus, Jane Rozelle and Samantha Wortley will serve as co-chairs of its annual shopping fundraiser, Partners Card 2016, presented by Bank of Texas. Now celebrating its 24th year, Partners Card is a unique way for the Dallas community to come together and give back in a fun and exciting way. With the purchase of a $70 Partners Card, cardholders are invited to shop, dine and save with a 20 percent discount at more than 750 participating retailers and restaurants throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. All of the proceeds from the card sales will be returned to The Family Place, Dallas’ largest family violence agency. This year’s 10-day shopping extravaganza will take place Friday, October 28 through Sunday, November 6, 2016. Cards will go on sale September 1, 2016.

Elizabeth is also involved throughout the community serving with Junior League of Dallas, Community Partners of Dallas, New Friends New Life, Bryan’s House and Highland Park United Methodist Church.

Originally from Dallas, Jane Rozelle attended The Episcopal School of Dallas and went on to get a degree in film from the University of Kansas. She spent several years after college in Los Angeles, working in media and film acquisitions before making her way back to Texas where she took her current post as PaperCity Magazine’s Social Editor.
