The Fashion Footwear Association of New York, known as FFANY, is a not for profit trade association representing footwear
manufacturers globally. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, FFANY partners with QVC, one of the largest multimedia retailers in the world, to
broadcast a shoe sale to benefit breast cancer research. The Breast Oncology Research Program at the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center is a
recipient of the funds raised. You can browse the designated shoes on sale at the
FFANY Shoes On Sale web pages or donate to this cause on the sale's web site.
The actual shoe sale takes place on Tuesday, October 13, 7-10pm and will be broadcast on QVC.
