Posted: 9/7/2010

Buying shoes can be more than fun. It can help fund breast cancer research.

(NAPSI) - The fashion industry is taking a step toward finding a cure for breast cancer--offering a great deal on shoes to raise money for breast cancer research.

The Fashion Footwear Association of New York (FFANY) and QVC are joining forces for the 17th Annual QVC Presents "FFANY Shoes on Sale." To date, over a million pairs of shoes have been sold and more than $32 million has been donated to fund cutting-edge research and education at leading hospitals and research organizations. Shop the charitable shoe sale by tuning in to QVC from 7−10 p.m. (ET) on October 15.

For the month of October, shoppers can also contribute to the cause by purchasing the "Shoe of the Day" offered each weekday from 7−9 a.m. (ET) or beginning October 1 online at QVC.com (while supplies last). This year, more than 100,000 shoes from over 100 brands will be sold for half the manufacturer's suggested retail price.
