Dear Friends,

For those of you who live, work, or have friends in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, we'd like to offer you free invitations (worth $10) to shop for charity at Bloomingdales in Tysons Corner, Virginia White Flint mall in land on Wednesday, March 5.

The information is below and attached. If you or any of your friends are interested, please contact us asap so we can mail you the invitations you need (otherwise the tickets cost $10 at the door).

Thanks!

Bloomingdale's has chosen the National Center for Policy Research (CPR) for Women & Families and 3 other charities for its annual SHOPPING BENEFIT. If you are in the Washington metro area, you can ‘shop for good’ on March 5!

CPR for Women & Families is offering free invitations. An invitation entitles you to receive a 15%-20% discount on most purchases throughout the day. In addition, participating stores will feature live fashion events, special product give-aways, door prizes, musical entertainment, gifts and much, much more. And don’t forget to bring the kids-- there will be fun activities for children throughout the day. Bloomingdale’s Tyson’s Corner (VA) and Bloomingdale’s White Flint (MD) will feature a petting zoo, face painting, story telling, and puppet theater!

Bloomingdale's has made an initial generous donation to all participating charities. On March 5, Bloomingdale’s will sell invitations at the door for $10. We will send you a FREE invitation to the event so you may ‘shop for good’ on March 5. Bloomingdale's will contribute an additional $5 to the National Center for Policy Research (CPR) for Women & Families for each supporter that comes into Bloomingdale's Tyson's Corner or Bloomingdale's White Flint Mall with one of our invitations on Wednesday, March 5--- no purchase required!

The National Center for Policy Research (CPR) for Women & Families uses medical and scientific information to improve programs and policies for women, children and families. We provide useful health and safety information that helps families directly, and also help women, children, and families indirectly by advocating for better healthcare, safety net programs, safer medical products, and a safer environment.

If you'd like to ‘shop for good’ on March 5, please let us know. We’ll mail you an invitation, and invitations for your friends. Let us know how many you need!

If you would like to do even more for a good cause, CPR needs volunteers. If you are available to volunteer at Bloomingdale's Tyson’s Corner or Bloomingdale's White Flint on March 5, please contact CPR by emailing at gb@...
