Breast Cancer Research & Karen Neuburger PJ Review + Giveaway

Grand Prize Winner

2nd Winner

I hope by now all of you realize this very important month of Breast Cancer Awareness. I am not sure if all of you know about the great company of KN Karen Neuburger:

The KN Karen Neuburger^®lifestyle brand is synonymous with comfort-inspired fashion and home merchandise. The brand’s signature softness and quality can be experienced in heritage sleepwear and loungewear for the whole family, paper goods, crafting and memory products, sportswear and accessories, home collection, furnishings and décor. KN™ and KN Luxury Home™ products can be found in department stores, specialty stores and online at www.karenneuburger.com.

KN Karen Neuburger® lifestyle brand and The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF) are partnering this fall and inviting shoppers to participate in the “Time for Research” program.  During the month of October 2009, KN will host “Pink Parties” at over 300 Dillards store locations where guests will get the chance to shop for a cause.  For each purchase of KN Karen Neuburger pajamas during the “Pink Parties,” KN will donate 30 minutes of research to BCRF.  Shoppers will also receive a free gift with purchase of a pink ribbon key chain.  The goal is to sponsor a month of breast cancer research to aid in the development of lifesaving treatments and an eventual cure for breast cancer.  In addition, to help KN reach the goal of sponsoring a month of research, donations will also be accepted through their Time for Research page: (https://support.bcrfcure.org/civicrm/contribute/pcp/info?reset=1&id=53).

To better understand the importance of each and every minute of research, consider the following; in one hour of research a breast cancer biopsy can be performed.  In one day, a clinician can conduct genetic counseling for one woman.  In one week, researchers can compare ten tumor samples.

“KN Karen Neuburger is thrilled to partner again this year with BCRF. KN is committed to help fund ground-breaking research by BCRF’s international team of doctors.  We are passionate about finding a cure for breast cancer, and we are thrilled that shoppers will be able to participate in this life-affirming process,” says Jenna Lowe, Director of Marketing and PR for Russell Newman.

About The Breast Cancer Research Foundation^®

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® was founded in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder as an independent, not-for-profit 501(c) (3) organization dedicated to funding innovative clinical and translational research.  The Foundation supports scientists at top universities and academic medical centers worldwide conducting the most advanced and promising breast cancer research that will lead to prevention and a cure in our lifetime.  A minimum of 85 cents of each dollar donated to the Foundation goes directly to breast cancer research and awareness programs.  In October 2008, $34.5 million was awarded to 166 scientists across the United States and in Australia, Canada, Latin America, the Middle East, and throughout Europe. And for the eighth consecutive year, BCRF received Charity Navigator’s highest rating, four stars, thus outperforming over 99% of the evaluated charities, while the American Institute of Philanthropy has awarded BCRF its highest possible rating of A+.  BCRF is the only breast cancer organization in the U.S. to receive these accolades.  For more information, visit www.bcrfcure.org or call 1.866.FIND.A.CURE.

I was fortunate enough to be able to review the Pink Lady PJs from the Karen Neuburger Collection which retail for $78.

My take:  After working all day, picking up the kids from daycare, learning that my husband was working all night and then getting soaked by the kids in the bathtub I was so ready to don these PJs and review them.  The minute I finished putting them on I gave a big sigh- they are exactly what a woman needs after a long stressful day.  The pattern is gorgeous, delicate and feminine.  The material is soft and very comfortable.  These PJs are wonderful!

KN Karen Neuburgeris generously offering 2 lucky MommyPR readers a chance to own these great PJs.  The grand prize winner not only wins the PJs but a great pair of Pink Ribbon chenille socks.  The other winner receives only the PJs
