Executive director Anne Poirier Basque says more than 50 businesses have signed up so far and it’s really a no-brainer for them.
“For the business owners, there is no cost to them whatsoever,” she notes.

Twice a year, DMCI plans to offer the gift cards at a 20 percent discount and will absorb the cost of that promotion.
The discount during the launch has already sold out but DMCI plans another promotion in November for the holiday season.
