Catherines® Plus Sizes Joins The Fight Against Breast Cancer Through Partnership With The Breast Cancer Research Foundation
BENSALEM, Pa., Oct. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Catherines, the preferred destination for plus-size women who love looking and feeling their best, is proud to join the fight against breast cancer by partnering with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) during Breast Cancer Awareness Month for the second consecutive year. The Catherines brand prides itself on its unique culture which is defined by extraordinary connections, where associates become friend, confidant and style editor to loyal customers. Knowing that many of their customers have been touched by breast cancer on some level, the brand feels it is important to stand together in the fight against this disease.
This October, Catherines will offer customers three different ways to contribute to the cause. A register roundup campaign will give customers the opportunity to round up their in-store purchase to the nearest dollar with the difference going to BCRF, or another amount of their choice. Catherines is also introducing a coupon book, valid during the month of November, in return for a $5 donation.
Most notably, Catherines is introducing a ten-piece BCRF capsule collection that will allow consumers to proudly show their support. The capsule spans activewear, sleepwear and fashion styles, with ten percent of the purchase price from the collection being donated to BCRF. The collection features the eye-catching prints and flattering fit Catherines customers know and love. The offering includes sleek workout pants with intricate mosaic and color-block patterns, figure-flattering tops with bold pink colors and accents, and the traditional pink Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon. These easy-to-wear pieces can be mixed and matched to suit any personal taste.
All three BCRF donation opportunities will be offered at Catherines stores nationwide during the month of October, and the BCRF capsule collection will be available in stores and online at Catherines.com throughout the month.
