Mia Shoes thinks pink.

Valued at $20,000, the shoes will be sold during the shopping channel’s FFANY Shoes on Sale event on Oct. 16, with 80 percent of proceeds benefitting the Fashion Footwear Charitable Foundation. 

“The lives of so many of our employees and extended Mia family members have been touched by this all too common cancer,” says Mia Founder and CEO Richard Strauss. The Mia Cares donation, expected to exceed $5,000, will support a clinical trial studying new therapies in Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), one of the disease’s deadliest types. “Our goal is to make a difference–to support known causes and give back to the communities where we live and work,” adds Suzanne Leslie, creative director.
