Women can put their heart and "sole" into fighting breast cancer.
As National Breast Cancer Awareness Month approaches in October, women
everywhere will be looking for ways to support the cause, from
participating in walks to wearing pink ribbons. These efforts are
certainly not without merit as more than 180,000 women are diagnosed
with breast cancer each year in the U.S. alone.
Leading electronic retailer QVC and the Fashion Footwear Association of
New York (FFANY) are once again "stepping" up their support of the
cause by presenting QVC Presents "FFANY Shoes on Sale."
During this special QVC broadcast on Wednesday, October 18, 2006 from 7
to 10 p.m. (ET), shoe lovers will find many brand name and designer
shoes offered at half the manufacturer's suggested retail price, with
all net proceeds going to leading breast cancer research and education
institutions.
Nine West, Via Spiga, Franco Sarto and Enzo Angiolini are just a few of
the brands scheduled to be offered, with additional styles available on
www.QVC.com. Now in its 13th year, QVC Presents "FFANY Shoes on Sale"
has donated more than $22 million for the cause. Now that's shopping
that's truly good for the "sole."
All of the event's beneficiaries, including the Joyce Eisenberg Keefer
Breast Center at John Wayne Cancer Institute, encourage regular breast
self-exams, clinical checkups and annual mammograms after age 40 to
combat the disease.
