Super Saturday 11 is a fun-filled, family-oriented, daylong fundraiser to benefit OCRF, complete with a one-of-a-kind designer garage sale, kids’ carnival and activities, raffle and gourmet treats. Once dubbed “the Rolls Royce of garage sales,” the most anticipated element of Super Saturday is the fashion garage sale, which includes merchandise from over 200 of the most prominent designers including Donna Karan, Theory, Carolina Herrera, Calvin Klein, Judith Leiber, Michael Kors, Catherine Malandrino, Diane von Furstenberg, Polo Ralph Lauren, Lacoste and Salvatore Ferragamo. The special Super Saturday Accessories Salon will showcase luxury accessories from numerous designers such as Prada, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Emilio Pucci, Hogan, Tory Burch, Thomas Pink and Zac Posen.  Retailers participating include Scoop NYC, Saks Fifth Avenue, Henri Bendel, Intermix and FAO Schwarz.

Once again OCRF has joined forces with leading multimedia retailer QVC^® to provide nationwide access to this incredible event.  On July 26^th, QVC will broadcast live from Super Saturday, 2:00PM – 4:00PM (ET).  During the broadcast, QVC Presents Super Saturday Live, viewers will get a taste of the event and a chance to purchase a variety of products including apparel, accessories, jewelry and beauty at HALF the suggested retail price with all net proceeds benefiting OCRF. 

In addition to the incredible shopping, Super Saturday 11 will offer attendees an action packed afternoon filled with indulgences.  Guests can buzz over to the Burt’s Bees booth for hand massages and fun activities.  Shoppers can stop by the Nintendo DS™ Lounge where they can get out of the sun and have some fun to revive their shopping spirits. Ladies will be able to pamper themselves with pedicures, mini facials and make-up touch ups courtesy of the CVS/pharmacy Reinventing Beauty Retreat Tent and polish changes by Essie Cosmetics.   

Grown-ups aren’t the only ones who have fun at the event.  Super Saturday’s “Day at the Farm and Kids Carnival” will feature pony rides, games, arts and crafts and more.  Kids can visit Camp Divalyssicious where they will enjoy face painting, tarot card readings and a performance by Broadway Babies. Spirituality for Kids will offer interactive lessons and activities that will inspire and empower children to learn important life tools.  Aspiring artists can customize t-shirts at the Ralph Lauren Childrenswear booth and decorate cupcakes at the Crumbs Bakeshop.  After hours of action, the little ones will be able to recuperate at the DwellStudio and FatBoy kids lounge. 

Super Saturday was created by Donna Karan, the late Liz Tilberis and OCRF’s President Faith Kates Kogan in 1998.  Donna has underwritten the event ever since its founding and all net proceeds raised from Super Saturday go directly to OCRF’s research programs. In Style has been a sponsor and host of Super Saturday since 2001. Super Saturday 10 in 2007, also hosted by Kelly Ripa, raised over $3 million.

Ticket prices for Super Saturday 11 are $450 (regular) or $650 (preview) for adults, and $150 for kids ages 5-16 (kids under 5 are free).  The preview ticket includes access to an exclusive shopping hour from 12:00PM – 1:00PM. Tables and sponsor packages are also available beginning at $2,500. To purchase tickets or for more information, please call London Misher Public Relations at

About the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund

The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund was founded in 1994.  Its mission is to fund research into early detection and ultimately a cure for ovarian cancer.   In support of its mission, OCRF assists patients and their loved ones to understand the disease and its treatment, and provides outreach programs to raise public awareness of ovarian cancer.

 

Funding for research is directed through the OCRF Scientific Advisory Committee, a group of 11 of the leading gynecologic oncologists and researchers in the United States.  They review and make recommendations for funding four high-impact grant programs.   Since 1998, OCRF has awarded over $28 million in grants to 128 of the brightest women and men working in the field of cancer research at over 40 of the leading medical centers in the United States.
