I love fashion that supports a cause. As women when there is a great design that helps others in need I consider it a win win and well worth the money spent. So I was excited to learn about Chico’s launch of a limited-edition scarf designed by artist and entrepreneur Sheila Johnson to support Stand Up To Cancer® (SU2C). Sheila is an amazing artist who has gorgeous scarves (normally selling at $395 each) it would be a treat to own any of her work, I love the fact she designed this scarf for such a worthy cause. The SU2C program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF), a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization. Funds raised during this initiative will help accelerate SU2C’s innovative cancer research to get new therapies to patients quickly, and saves lives now.
During the campaign, Chico’s will offer the limited-edition scarf, designed by Johnson. This $50 scarf will be sold at Chico’s boutiques across the US and Canada, as well as online at www.chicos.com. Chico’s will donate $10 to Stand Up To Cancer (up to $100,000) for every scarf purchased from now through October 31st.
Stand Up To Cancer is changing the culture of cancer research through its unique funding model, which facilitates collaboration among scientists in different disciplines from different institutions. Over 940 researchers from 123 institutions in six countries are collaborating on SU2C-funded research.
