5840 Glades Rd., Boca Raton, FL 33431
19555 Biscayne Blvd., Aventura, FL 33180

Ticket holders will receive a 15-20% discount on almost everything in the store, including designer handbags, perfumes, and other items normally excluded from coupons! So if you live in Florida and you and your friends shop at Bloomingdale’s this is the perfect opportunity to save money AND support CFXF!

Tickets for the event are $10.00 and are only available through CFXF by mail or on line. Tickets are valid ONLY during the Shopping Benefit Event on October 26, 2006. Conquer Fragile X will keep 100% of the proceeds from our direct ticket sales prior to the event.

Order your tickets by completing the Bloomingdale’s Shopping Benefit CFXF Ticket order form below and mailing with your payment to: CFXF, PO Box 128, Palm Beach, FL 33480. Or, go to our website at www.cfxf.org and click on the “Order Bloomingdale’s tickets” button. You will receive your tickets by mail within one week of your order!
This event is open to all, so tell your friends and family about this special offer through CFXF.

Tickets will also be on sale at Bloomingdale’s Customer Service Center two weeks prior to the event, and again on the day of the event. The funds from the Customer Service Center sales will be combined with the day-of-the-event ticket sales and divided among all charities that sold 200 or more tickets. This allows CFXF to benefit from the event three times, first from the direct ticket sales, second from the tickets sold by the Bloomingdale’s Customer Service Centers two weeks prior to the event, and finally the day-of-the-event sales.

You can also order the tickets online right here on our web site.
