Kohl’s Department Stores (NYSE: KSS) invites customers to take
the fight against breast cancer into the kitchen with new Kohl’s
Cares® cause merchandise created by Food NetworkTM. The exclusive
merchandise, designed to support women’s health, is available in
all 40 Wisconsin Kohl’s stores and online at www.Kohls.com, with
100 percent of the net profit donated to support the fight against
breast cancer. The latest collection features Food Network branded
merchandise, exclusively found at Kohl’s. It is available now
through the end of July.
The exclusive collection from Food Network includes table top
and food prep items, as well as cooking utensils. All items are
available for just $5 or $10 each. The collection includes serving
ware; a variety of kitchen towels and scrubbers; reusable market
bags; aprons; measuring cups and spoons and more, all in various
shades of pink and white. In Wisconsin Kohl’s stores, the breast
cancer cause merchandise has its own center aisle display where all
items are merchandised together to make it easy for customers to
support the cause. To view the entire collection or to purchase
these items online, visit www.Kohls.com.
“We are excited to add Food Network to our Kohl’s Cares cause
merchandise program. It’s our first cause merchandise collection
that is focused on the kitchen with cooking tools and accessories,”
said Julie Gardner, Kohl’s executive vice president and chief
marketing officer. “Families spend so much quality time together in
the kitchen and this new Food Network collection is a fun and easy
way for our customers to involve the entire family in supporting
women’s health.”
The net profit from the new cause merchandise program, launched
at Kohl’s in September 2010 and available year-round, supports the
fight against breast cancer. Kohl’s has also supported the fight
against breast cancer with a commitment of $7 million over three
years to the American Cancer Society’s Midwest Division and the
Southeast Wisconsin Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® to
support breast cancer research, education and patient-assistance
programs.
The women’s health initiative builds upon Kohl’s long history of
charitable involvement in the communities it serves. Since 2000,
Kohl’s and the Kohl’s Cares program have combined to give
approximately $38 million to support charitable initiatives in the
metro-Milwaukee area. Also, over the past 10 years, the company’s
Kohl’s Cares cause merchandise program, which sells plush toys and
books, has raised more than $180 million to benefit children's
health and education initiatives nationwide.
