Entertainment discount card proceeds benefit local arts non-profit

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Feb. 3, 2010 – After a season full of holiday cards and credit cards, it’s time for a card that gives back. Allied Arts introduces the 2010 OKCityCard, an entertainment discount card that offers savings at 166 local locations and supports the arts in Central Oklahoma. With a $50 donation to Allied Arts, individuals receive the CityCard and its discounts at top arts, retail, sports and restaurant partners, for a year.

“The CityCard is one of the best tools to save money in the Oklahoma City area,” said Deborah McAuliffe Senner, Allied Arts president and CEO. “Through CityCard discounts, individuals and families can experience more of Central Oklahoma’s restaurants, events and attractions, while strengthening our local arts community.”

This year, the CityCard features new discounts with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Big Truck Tacos, James E. McNellie’s Pub House, The Colcord Hotel and The Skirvin Hilton Hotel, to name a few. Discounts are available for events and at locations across Central Oklahoma, including in Arcadia, Chickasha, Edmond, Enid, Midwest City, Moore, Oklahoma City and Shawnee.
