Make a bold statement and help an important cause this week by purchasing the “Viva La Cure” t-shirt designed by Juicy Couture at Saks. All proceeds from the sales of this shirt goes to the Women’s Cancer Research Fund, a program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation.

Locally, Saks Fifth Avenue kicks off their Annual Key to the Cure event this week: from October 18-21, Saks will donate 2% of their sales to the Louisiana Cancer Research Consortium (LCRC).

A gala benefiting the LCRC is planned for Wednesday, Oct. 17, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Call 988-6592 if you are interested in purchasing tickets to the event ($50).
