VICTORY PRESENTS THE HOLIDAY SHOPPING CARD |

The Holiday Shopping Card is a unique way to donate to the American Cancer Society and save 20% at over 700 of the finest retailers in the Houston and surrounding areas. This card is sponsored by VICTORY, an all-volunteer branch of the American Cancer Society, whose mission is to raise funds for cancer research, education, advocacy, and patient services.
Due to the generosity of our underwriters and the volunteer efforts of VICTORY members, your entire $70 minimum donation is fully tax-deductible and goes directly to the American Cancer Society.
To purchase your Holiday Shopping Card please visit a
participating merchant.
The dates for this year’s Holiday Shopping Card are Thursday, October 23rd through Sunday, November 2nd. Purchase a card and help us make a difference in the lives of cancer patients and their families. Thank you so much for your support!
