I sure am saddened that QVC chose not to have FFANY showcased this year.

Everyday there were shoes available to purchase where proceeds from that

would go to the cancer foundation. I looked forward to the scheduled show

they would air with all the designers showcased. When I called to inquire why

they weren't doing it this year, they didn't have an answer. Never gave a reason

to customer service reps....and I'm sure others were calling in. I am happy to

see that they have a page where you can donate to the NBCF. I hope all will

still donate to fight this disease.

How do you know it was QVC's decision?  Perhaps the whole sale has been discontinued.  Many businesses are in financial trouble and no longer afford earlier generosity.  Times have changed.

I think I read here that it was the FFANY people that made the decision to cancel.

No need. Cures already exist.

Most of the shoes on those shows sold out so quickly, it was hardly worth watching.  I realize that is the point, but it was disappointing to not be able to order the shoes you liked at such a good price.

We had discussed this here previously.  QVC stopped doing it.  Not sure why the secrecy with customer service reps.

 

A quick Google and you will find your answers.

 

FFANY Shoes on Sale Will Reboot After Longtime Partnership With QVC Ends

 

 

After nearly three decades of raising funds for breast cancer research, FFANY Shoes on Sale is hitting pause in 2022 as it prepares for a reboot.

 

The footwear industry’s biggest annual charity event, overseen by the Fashion Footwear Charitable Foundation (FFCF), recently ended its exclusive partnership with QVC after 28 years together.

 

“We’re disappointed that they walked away, but at the same time, I understand why they did it,” said John Heron, VP of Lucky Brand and an FFCF board member. “In today’s environment where supply chain is on the tip of everyone’s tongue, this was a very logistically intensive effort. But we had a wonderful relationship with them. They were the backbone of this effort for many years.”

Yeah, I bet people like John Travolta's wife, Kelly Preston, would have been interested in where she could find these "cures." 

 

Bizarre. 🙄

I'm sure you can contribute to your local cancer are breast cancer foundation in your area.

 

If you want to see some pretty styles, look at a major shoe site that offers many brands.  They all offer many discount codes.

Really??  The Sunday obituaries might beg to differ on that thought.
