We are delighted to announce that our client, Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer, is still pursuing their mission of “Saving Lives One Runway at a Time”. On Friday, March 12 they will be partnering with Boston fashion designer, Sara Campbell LTD, for a fashion preview and luncheon at the Wellesley Boutique from 12 to 2 pm. The luncheon will feature Sara Campbell’s 2010 Spring/Summer collection with the help of local celebrity guest models Beth Shelburne of NECN News, Candy O’Terry of Magic 106.7, Kathryn Tappen of NESN, Kelley Tuthill of NewsCenter 5 WCVB and Naomi Kooker of Boston Common Magazine!

Sara Campbell’s timeless fashions thrive at her two convenient store locations, downtown Boston and Linden Square in Wellesley, and to specialty retailers nationwide. “Flowers are blooming this spring in a myriad of patterns and prints, embrace them. Dresses are also very significant and extremely versatile, we have your causal shirt dress, your day-garden dress, the evening cocktail frock, and the ever-so-pretty party wear!” notes Sara Campbell

Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting ovarian cancer research, awareness and patient programs. The upcoming Sara Campbell fashion preview will be the perfect chance to celebrate springtime and womanhood over a light lunch and receive 10% off Sara Campbell’s fashions, while 10% benefits Ovations!

The flutter of a butterfly’s wings can cause quite a stir! Here at Sabre, we are working with Ovations for the Cure to host a majestic fundraising event, Night of the Monarch. Founded by the late Patty Franchi Flaherty in 2005, Ovations for the Cure is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the research, patient treatment and awareness of ovarian cancer. Patty, who lost her mother to the disease over 30 years ago, was diagnosed herself in 1999 and spent five years in remission before being diagnosed a second time in 2005. Determined to be victorious—not just for herself, but for others as well—Patty and 10 intrepid girlfriends embarked on a mission to “save other women from the devastation of ovarian cancer,” and Ovations for the Cure was born.

What began four years ago with a premiere fundraising event, the Stuart Weitzman Fashion Show, has now blossomed into a spectacular twilight gala: Night of the Monarch, featuring the Stuart Weitzman Fashion Show with jewelry designs by A.M. DePrisco Wellesley. Sabre aids in the production of the flagship event by managing the design of the stage area, runway, signage, invitations, programs and show collateral. We also facilitate electronic advertising through the Ovations website and email and coordinate the administration of electronic ticket sales. The show helps raise money to support the organization’s mission; last year’s event helped push Ovations over the $1 million mark in monies directed for ovarian cancer!

The event will take place on September 26, 2009 at the Westin Boston Waterfront and will honor those who face ovarian cancer as well as those who have succumbed to the disease, including a special tribute to Patty Franchi Flaherty. September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and Night of the Monarch will be THE local event to show your support to the cause.
