Join more than 200 well-heeled women (and a few good men) as they shop to put an end to women’s cancer. 

Fashion fights women's cancers on Friday, October 21 at 8:30 a.m. at Saks Fifth Avenue, Biltmore Fashion Park, with the highlight of the fall social season – Key to the Cure. 

Arizona Foothills Magazine is proud to be a part of this nationwide fundraising initiative to raise funds for women's cancer treatment and research, in collaboraiton with Biltmore Fashion Park and theTranslational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), once again, in 2011.

The private shopping experience is a lively party with a serious purpose - to raise funds and awareness for breast and ovarian cancer research. This year, these two aggressive diseases will claim the lives of more than 200,000 women.



Jennifer Hudson will serve as the 2011 national Key to the Cure ambassador, while Elie Tahari has designed the limited edition T-shirt that will be available for purchase in October. 

Fashionistas can savor retail therapy throughout Saks floors, fueled by pink Champagne cocktails and bites from local restaurateurs. The 2-hour shopportunity tops off with a high-energy signature fashion show presented by Saks Fifth Avenue.



As if you needed another reason to shop at Saks: The event coincides with Friends & Family weekend, with special discounts on men's and women's apparel as well as accessories, jewelry and cosmetics.

To fight cancer with fashion, shop for a cure with the Valley's most fashionable. 

All proceeds from the $125 tickets - a generous 2% of sales made October 20 through 23 - will benefit TGen.  


Saks Fifth Avenue initiated its charity-shopping weekend in 1999. Since then, the company has donated over $33 million to women's cancer research and treatment organizations throughout the United States.
