WEST CHESTER, Pa., March 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of
International Women's Day on March 8,
QVC Group's QVC and HSN are teaming up with global nonprofit Nest
to promote women's entrepreneurship and empowerment. QVC Group will
soon be rebranded as Qurate Retail Group.
In celebration of women who not only dream, but dare to live
their dreams, QVC, HSN and participating brands from both retailers
will come together to donate a minimum of $325,000 to benefit Nest, a nonprofit that
empowers artisans worldwide to bring their talents, creativity and
craftsmanship to the global marketplace.
"Entrepreneurial at heart, QVC and HSN have a long history of
supporting women and cultivating strong relationships," said
Mike George, President and CEO of
QVC, Inc., who leads QVC Group and will become President and CEO of
Qurate Retail Group. "QVC and HSN have fostered the growth of some
of today's most successful brands, many of which were founded by
women. Today and throughout the month of March, QVC and HSN are
proud to continue to collaborate with Nest to celebrate women
entrepreneurs around the world, including those who got their start
here."
All day March 8 and throughout the month, QVC
will celebrate women entrepreneurs with a special collection of
products. The curated selection features apparel, jewelry,
accessories, beauty and home items from 15 women-led brands such as
Peace Love World, LOGO by Lori
Goldstein, Mally, tarte and IT Cosmetics. Additionally, HSN
brands like Lysse, Minnetonka, Nurse Jamie and Perlier will be
joining together to support Nest. All donations will go toward
ensuring that Nest's women artisans have access to the professional
training, resources and infrastructure they need to thrive.
Throughout the month of March, QVC and HSN will also be
spotlighting women entrepreneurs and telling their inspiring
stories across multiple platforms. Nest, QVC and HSN are inviting
women everywhere to share on social media how they dream, dare and
do, using #dreamdaredo.
"At Nest, we believe that women everywhere deserve access to
economic opportunities that not only ensure their ability to
provide for themselves and their families, but also help them to
express their unique creativity and sense of self," said
Rebecca van Bergen, Nest Founder and
Executive Director. "The generous support that the QVC Group, along
with its women-led brands, is providing to Nest will make a huge
impact for artisan women around the world who are striving to
realize their dreams."
Since 2016, QVC has collaborated with Nest to create more
opportunities for women and women-led businesses through major
initiatives such as Giving Tuesday. Funds raised through QVC have
enabled Nest to dramatically grow its impact, with the organization
nearly doubling the number of artisans it reaches from 60,000 in
2016 to now more than 100,000 globally.
