WEST CHESTER, Pa., May 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Each day,
countless people across the country gather up their courage and
continue to work while undergoing cancer treatment. It is often
challenging—and fundamental. For the fifth consecutive
year, QVC and Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) are teaming up for
"QVC and CEW Present Beauty with Benefits" to lend support for
those in the midst of this battle and to prove just how beautiful
it is to be so brave. During this multimedia event, scheduled for
Thursday, May 18, 6-8 PM (ET) on QVC® and 8-10 PM (ET) on Beauty iQ®, beauty
lovers will have the opportunity to shop for a cause and make a
difference in the lives of those touched by the disease.
This year's event will feature a wide range of products
including color cosmetics, fragrance, skin care and hair care from
24 prestige beauty brands such as MAC, SK-II, buxom, Dior,
Givenchy, Shiseido, IOPE, bareMinerals®, Laura Geller
NY, Dr. Dennis Gross® and
many more. Eighty percent of the purchase price* of donated
merchandise will benefit Cancer and Careers, a charitable program
established by the CEW Foundation to empower, educate and provide
essential tools to people with cancer so they can thrive in their
workplace. As an added bonus, shoppers will receive a special
six-piece gift with purchase and cosmetic case valued at
$83**.
"As a result of this charitable initiative, Cancer and Careers
has received $4.5 million since
2013," said Rachel Ungaro, Vice
President of Merchandising for QVC. "Now in its fifth year, Beauty
with Benefits is a perfect example of the impact the beauty
industry can make when united around a common goal. We are proud to
have such a wide assortment of beauty products, including six new
brands participating this year, and we hope customers will be
inspired to feel beautiful while giving back."
For nearly three decades, QVC has valued the importance of
relationships. As part of this year's multimedia event, which
launched on QVC.com May 1, QVC is
reinforcing the power of relationships by collaborating with beauty
influencers to help raise awareness and spread the word about
supporting such an important cause. QVC is also inviting shoppers
to donate $1.00 to Cancer and
Careers, with 100 percent of all donations supporting the program.
It's all part of QVC's ongoing commitment to support charitable
causes that promote the success and wellness of women through the
power of relationships.
