This October, the multimedia retailer will once again join the Fashion Footwear Association of New York (FFANY) to offer nearly 100,000 pairs of shoes from over 80 brands at half the manufacturer’s suggested retail price* with net proceeds benefitting breast cancer research and education institutions, including the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania.
Since its inception, QVC Presents “FFANY Shoes on Sale” has generated more than $41 million for breast cancer research and education. Of that, over $4 million has gone to breast cancer research at Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center. "Over the last 11 years, this event has facilitated multidisciplinary collaboration between basic scientists and clinical researchers,” says Angela DeMichele, MD, MSCE, associate professor of medicine and co-leader of the Breast Cancer Research Program at Penn. “With the incredible support of FFANY and QVC, we are able to make an immeasurable impact in the prevention, detection, treatment and survivorship of breast cancer. These discoveries have helped to provide support to our patients and their families in our community and around the world. We are excited to continue our relationship with FFANY and QVC as we move forward in this fight against breast cancer."
In addition to the scheduled broadcast on October 10, shoppers can contribute to the cause by purchasing the “Shoe of the Day,” offered each weekday from 7 to 9 AM (ET) on QVC during the month of October. They can also shop the online collection offered on QVC.com where additional styles can be found, beginning October 1 and continuing throughout the month, while supplies last.
