WEST CHESTER, Pa., July 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- QVC and
Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance (OCRFA) are uniting once
again for "QVC Presents Super Saturday LIVE," an annual
charity sale scheduled to be broadcast on Saturday, July 29 at 2 PM (ET). As part of the shopping
extravaganza, donated designer accessories, apparel, beauty,
jewelry and more will be offered at HALF the
manufacturer's suggested retail price,* with 80% of the purchase
price** benefitting Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance.
"Each summer, the funds raised through 'QVC Presents Super
Saturday LIVE' bring us one step closer to eradicating this deadly
disease," said Doug Rose, Senior
Vice President of Brand and Communications for QVC. "Now in its
11th year, this initiative is a wonderful example of the difference
that can be made when two powerful organizations join together in
support of a worthy cause."
Since 1998, OCRFA's Super Saturday, a guilt-free charity
discount designer shopping event has raised millions of dollars for
ovarian cancer research. Since 2007, "QVC Presents Super Saturday
LIVE" has generated more than $11.5
million to benefit Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance.
The live broadcast, which will include cut-ins from OCRFA's Super
Saturday event to give viewers an exciting behind-the-scenes look
at one of the summer's most spectacular sales, will feature a
variety of fabulous finds from designer brands including
Givenchy, Dooney & Bourke, Henri
Bendel, Judith Leiber,
philosophy and many more.
"For more than a decade, OCRFA and QVC have joined forces to
help raise awareness of ovarian cancer," said Audra Moran, President and CEO, OCRFA. "This
year, we are honored to be joined by Alyssa
Milano and Kelly Kall, who
have graciously agreed to share their personal connection to this
horrible disease. It is our hope that their story and message will
heighten awareness of this deadly disease."
Kelly Kall is the long-time
personal assistant and friend to Hollywood star actress and activist
Alyssa Milano. Kelly was diagnosed
with stage one ovarian cancer – a very rare finding as ovarian
cancer is not often discovered so early. Alyssa and Kelly fought
through the disease together and hope their story exemplifies the
importance of having the support of friends and loved ones around
you. Their story will also be shared on air during "QVC Presents
Super Saturday LIVE."
In honor of Super Saturday LIVE, QVC is inviting shoppers to
donate $1, with 100% of the donation
supporting OCRFA, the largest global organization dedicated to
advancing ovarian cancer research, advocacy and patient support
programs. QVC is also encouraging viewers to participate in
#KeepinItTeal, a social media campaign designed to help raise
awareness of ovarian cancer. 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.
