StyleWeek Providence Names Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer As Its Exclusive National Charity Partner

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 25, 2010 -- StyleWeek Providence has chosen Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer as its exclusive national non-profit partner for its inaugural event this June.

As the partner charity for StyleWeek Providence, Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer will participate in all StyleWeek events June 5-12, 2010, striving to raise awareness and funds.

“Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer is an amazing organization that fights to save women’s lives through education and awareness of ovarian cancer,” says StyleWeek Providence’s Executive Director, Rosanna Ortiz Sinel. “Amid the many women’s health concerns today, ovarian cancer is too often overlooked, so we are honored to assist in this mission to heighten awareness and combat this deadly disease.”

At least 15,000 women die each year from ovarian cancer and, specifically, in the United States 1 in 56 women develop ovarian cancer, making that more then 26,000 new cases diagnosed each year.

Each night during StyleWeek Providence, various venues will host after-show events where the public will have an opportunity to mingle with the designers, celebrate the fashion, and see the evening’s runway shows broadcast on big screens. At these events, Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer will partner to raise funds through special promotions. While long a fashion-aware non-profit, this is the first major fashion week that Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer is partnering with on this scope.

“We couldn’t be happier to forge this partnership with StyleWeek Providence. Especially given the largely-female audience at the fashion events during StyleWeek Providence, this partnership has a natural synergy,” says Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer Director of Operations Lisa Collamore Tocci. “We are thrilled that StyleWeek Providence selected Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer as their exclusive national non-profit partner, and very much looking forward to collaborating on this fantastic event in June.”
