FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - September 30, 2009
Toronto, ON - RON WHITE, Canada's leading footwear retailer, announced today that it has once again teamed up with the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
Throughout the month of October, all 6 RON WHITE locations, as well as the e-Boutique, will be hosting their 13th Annual Breast Cancer Fundraiser: A Step Towards a Cure is in the Bag, and will be donating 100 per cent of the proceeds ($20 taxes included) of a luxurious travel shoe bag to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. This year's limited edition bag is featured in a Black silky faux fur embroidered with the pink ribbon symbol.
"The event is a salute to my aunt, who has survived breast cancer twice and is still with me today,"said Ron White, CEO and Creative Director of RON WHITE. "I am continually inspired by her courage and hold this very important cause close to my heart. She loaned me the money to start this company and I wouldn't be in business today without her."
Just in time for the upcoming winter season, the bag is ideal to travel with or carry your precious footwear to work, the theatre or a dinner party. It's also a perfect holiday stocking-stuffer and gift item - all the while supporting a great cause!
