Catherines Plus Sizes To Support The American Diabetes Association

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Catherines Plus Sizes has announced that the brand will once again partner with the American Diabetes Association (ADA) with the launch of a campaign aimed to support ADA's mission to provide diabetes education, protect the rights of those with diabetes, and to fund critical research for a cure.

Since 2009, Catherines has raised more than $1.2M to support the ADA's community education programs, research and advocacy through multiple opportunities, including register round-ups, branded merchandise and customer communication.

This holiday season, Catherines will offer register round-up opportunities to clients who shop in the brand's 400 locations nationwide. Catherines will also sell an exclusive ADA-dedicated t-shirt, and will contribute $5 for each t-shirt sold to the American Diabetes Association. The t-shirt will retail for $22.50, and will be available in store and on Catherines.com in sizes 0X-5X.

"Diabetes affects so many of our associates, as well as their friends and families. The work that the American Diabetes Association does truly changes the lives of those we love for the better," said ascena Plus Fashion Segment President Eric Hunter. "To know our partnership with ADA helps fund these valuable programs is very humbling." 

Catherines will also work to spread awareness of the American Diabetes Association by utilizing a special "proud supporter of the American Diabetes Association" tag on brand marketing, and will feature the campaign on its social and digital media channels.
