Coldwater Creek Stores Invite Women to

"Try It On for the Cure®" and Join In The Fight Against Breast Cancer

Proceeds from the One Day, Fashion Based Fundraiser to

Benefit the Local Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®

 

(Grassroots Newswire) -- Coldwater Creek, a national, leading retailer of quality fashion for women, is gearing up to host the Fall segment of its semi-annual, nationwide "Try It On for the Cure®" initiative.  The one day only event, hosted on Sunday, September 13^th, during regular store hours, encourages all area women to stop in to any of the Coldwater Creek stores and try on clothes as a fun and easy way to join in the fight against breast cancer.  Proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit the local affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.

Coldwater Creek's "Try It On for the Cure®" is a simple program that has far reaching benefits for women and no purchase is necessary to take part.  For everyone who enters a dressing room and tries on an item from Coldwater Creek's extensive collection at any store on September 13^th, Coldwater Creek will donate $1 to the local affiliate of Komen for the Cure. 

For those who choose to make an in-store purchase during the one day fundraiser, the retailer will also donate 10 percent of the day's sales from each of these stores to the local affiliate of Komen for the Cure.

"Try It On for the Cure is a terrific example of how people can get involved in the breast cancer movement in a fun and meaningful way," said Hala Moddelmog, CEO of Susan G.

Komen for the Cure®. "We're grateful for the longstanding and constant support of our friends at Coldwater Creek, who have done so much to advance Komen’s mission to save lives and end breast cancer forever."

Supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure has become a passion for Coldwater Creek.  In all of the company’s 350 plus stores across the country, they execute multiple programs that focus on raising funds that stay within each local community.  During the company’s last national "Try It On for the Cure®" event in April 2009, Coldwater Creek donated over $100,000 to local Komen affiliates throughout the U.S. Whether individual stores are participating in the local Race for the Cure or hosting benefit fashion events, Coldwater Creek’s goal is to give back to the community.
