Tadashi Shoji And Samuel Waxman Foundation Partner For Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October 13, 2019

Tadashi Shoji, a leading designer of special occasion dresses, along with bridal, handbags, intimates, and kids collection, will again partner with the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation (SWCRF) to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This marks the 6th year of Tadashi Shoji’s participation in the SWCRF “Pay It Forward” campaign to support cutting-edge cancer research.

To help raise funds for such a worthy cause, Tadashi Shoji has created an exclusive wristlet (a clutch purse with wrist strap). The wristlet’s pink leather exterior pays tribute to Breast Cancer Awareness Month universally recognized color palette.

“This year, I stand proudly with my friends at the SWCRF in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I will donate 20 percent of the total amount raised from the purchase of the wristlet to finding a cure for cancer”- Tadashi Shoji.

“Tadashi Shoji initiated the ‘Pay it Forward’ event six years ago and has been a longtime friend and benefactor of the SWCRF. He is an important partner in our efforts to fund cutting-edge cancer research that is deepening scientific knowledge of this devastating disease. We are grateful for his continued generosity and to everyone who purchases the exclusively designed ‘Pay it Forward’ wristlet” – Samuel Waxman, MD, SWCRF Founder, and CEO.

This year, the SWCRF has directed more than $2 million in donor-supported support to fund 13 types of cancer, including breast cancer and triple-negative breast cancer. The funds raised through the purchase of Tadashi Shoji wristlet this month will support SWCRF researchers who are making breakthroughs in detecting how breast cancer forms and spreads. This research is advancing our understanding of how to prevent or treat breast cancer more effectively.

 

Beginning October 1st, 2019, the limited-edition wristlet will go on sale through the end of October, and will be available for $40.00 USD at Tadashi Shoji boutiques in South Coast Plaza (CA) and Fashion Show Mall (NV) as well as online with 20 percent of the proceeds going directly to SWCRF to help fund their cancer research.

Since its inception in 1976, the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation has awarded over $100 million to support the work of more than 200 researchers across the globe.
