Brandy Scott Terri Hunter BY JANE ROZELLE. PHOTOGRAPHY GEORGE FIALA. OCTOBER | PAGE 12 | 2014 K eeping it in the family for the past 21 years, Partners Card serves as the largest fund- raiser for The Family Place and also holds the title as the biggest and best shopping event of the season — or, in our opinion, the year. It's no secret that Dallas ladies (and some gents) love to shop. Bigger than Black Friday in terms of sales for local retailers, it is the biggest single sales period of the year for many stores. To kick off the retail therapy, the chairmen are charged with creating pre- parties and buzz to sell the cards. And sell they do. Pre-Buzz: Partners Card chairmen Lisa Bhattacharya, Andrea Cheek, and Diana Hamilton welcomed the charitable crew at The Grill on The Alley at Galleria Dallas to raise a glass to 2014, the 22nd year of Partners Card. Presented by Bank of Texas, the Card last year raised $1,150,884 for The Family Place; to date, the event has generated more than $14 million for the charity. Honorary chairman Shelle Sills joined the chair trio at IBB Design to celebrate the hard-working North Sellers team. The next week, it was more toasting, this time at Pinto Ranch in NorthPark Center, where a boisterous crowd gathered for the South Sellers soirée, helping to spark further buzz. Making partner: Brandi Redmond, Amber Teague, Sherry Williams, Connie Nash, Kristina Wrenn, Ross Martin, Regina Bruce, Pucci Lisenbee, Heath Cheek, Jennifer Tobin, Steve Hamilton, and Nancy Gopez.
