To help raise both money and awareness for women’s cancers, Saks Fifth Avenue Palm Beach Gardens will partner with Jupiter Medical Center and host the 2010 Key To The Cure, a charity shopping weekend taking place Thursday, Oct. 21 through Sunday, Oct. 24.
To launch this year’s event, Saks Fifth Avenue Palm Beach Gardens will host a KEY TO THE CURE kick-off celebration on Oct. 20 from 5:30 to 9 p.m., featuring more than 30 local restaurants serving hors d’oeuvres and desserts; live entertainment and, of course, shopping. The cost to attend the exciting event is $40 per person or $75 per couple. All proceeds from the ticket sales of the evening’s event will be donated to Jupiter Medical Center’s Foshay Cancer Center. Saks will also offer a limited-edition Key To The Cure T-shirt designed by Donna Karan available beginning October 1 and retailing for $35 in Saks stores, Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH stores and on saks.com. 100 percent of the purchase price of each shirt sold will be donated to local charity partners.
Actress Uma Thurman is the 2010 Ambassador for Saks Fifth Avenue’s Key To The Cure. In support of this program, Ms. Thurman will appear in a national public service announcement (PSA) wearing the Donna Karan limited edition T-shirt, shot by renowned photographer Fabrizio Ferri.
