Union Market will get a little taste of Brazil when internationally inspired lifestyle brand NOVA BOSSA pops up at the thriving retail and culinary district.

Offering art and photography, bain couture, books, women’s clothing, handbags, home decór, jewelry and scarves, the NOVA BOSSA pop-up will feature a wide selection of globally sourced items from international designers, including Adriana Degreas, Artiz, Catarina Mina, Cecilia Prado, Mercedes Salazar, Mola Sasa, Paula Mendoza Jewelry, Scarf Me, Wymann Rio and more.

From intricately handmade bags to 24-carat gold-plated statement jewelry to colorful baskets from the Amazon, NOVA BOSSA’s assortment of luxury-leaning goods orbit around founder and CEO Carolina Furukrona’s passions for travel, design and entertaining.

She launched NOVA BOSSA last year following 100 international adventures and a business certification from Harvard, in an effort to both pay homage to her São Paulo roots and enable top lifestyle brands — especially by women designers and artisans — from her native Brazil and other emerging markets to go global.

“NOVA BOSSA is delighted to celebrate our one-year anniversary by partnering with Union Market DC for this pop-up,” Furukrona says. “We believe that Union Market’s focus on culture and commerce, on showcasing the very best new businesses in the region, and on serving a dynamic and diverse clientele makes this a unique opportunity for our brand. We are excited to showcase rising international women designers − most of which have never before been available in the United States or the D.C. region – and to prove that the creativity, craftsmanship and design emanating from places like Brazil can be just as good, if not better, than what’s coming out of Europe. After spending so much time abroad I feel D.C. is lacking some bossa, so it’s an honor to present new products that can give a daring and fresh update to the wardrobes and homes of our great city.”

As home base for 40+ award-winning restaurant and retail concepts, northeast D.C.’s thriving Union Market District continues to grow its reputation as a brand incubator, giving small businesses the solid footing they need to get to the next level.

The NOVA BOSSA pop-up launches February 22, and will operate as follows:

The 13th annual ScopeItOut 5K, presented by national non-profit Colorectal Cancer Alliance, will take place on Sunday, March 18, in the heart of downtown Washington, D.C. Coincidentally, this year’s race is held on National Awkward Moments Day. With colorectal cancer still viewed as an uncomfortable topic of discussion for many people, despite being one of the most common types of cancer, the non-profit is encouraging participants and the community to raise awareness and take the topic from awkward to ordinary. For the seventh year in a row, the event will be emceed by Tommy McFly of The Tommy Show on 94.7 Fresh FM.

Held during National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, the race is the largest colorectal cancer awareness race in the country, attracting nearly 3,000 participants. While it’s one of the most preventable cancers, colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. This year, the American Cancer Society estimates that more than 140,000 Americans will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and more than 50,000 will die from the disease. Colorectal cancer doesn’t care about age, and the incidence rate is rising among adults under 50. Currently, one-in-10 individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer are under 50 years old. A recent study by the Alliance showed 82% of young-onset patients are initially misdiagnosed. By the time they receive a correct diagnosis, in many occasions, the cancer has progressed to advanced stages. In its early stages, colorectal cancer is highly treatable, with a five-year survival rate of 90%, making it a stoppable and preventable disease through early detection.

The ScopeItOut 5K is the largest source of fundraising for colorectal cancer awareness and research in the Washington, D.C. metro area. This year, the run-walk aims to raise $400,000, which will fund national prevention, research and patient support programs through the Colorectal Cancer Alliance. Locally, this race partners with the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center to help raise awareness and eliminate the disease within our lifetime.  To date, the ScopeItOut 5K has donated more than $1.9 million dollars to further colorectal cancer research and awareness.

Other race day activities include a special appearance by the President Teddy Roosevelt from the Washington Nationals, Dunkin Donuts coffee bar, food trucks, a Celebrating You mobile spa for survivors, music, games and other activities. The 2018 ScopeItOut DC is sponsored and supported by MedStar Georgetown – The Ruesch Center, Inova Schar Cancer Institute, K&L Gates, Deloitte, and Epi proColon.
