Key to the Cure 2011

Posted on October 23, 2011 in Around Town, Charitable Involvement, Parties/Events, Shopping

Saks Fifth Avenue in Chevy Chase stayed open late for the annual Key to the Cure charity shopping benefit last week, inviting shoppers to kick off the chain’s nationwide weekend effort to fight breast cancer.

Attendees enjoyed pampering before — or after — perusing and purchasing. The event, as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, showcased culinary treats from local restaurants and shopping at the classically stylish Saks Fifth Avenue.

Co-chairs Maura Fitzgerald Shannon and Nina Snow encouraged guests to make charitable donations, which translated to “keys,” each with the chance to open a box of prizes. Keys to the Cure!
