Thia Breen and Laurie Dowley (the best hostesses in beauty) invited fellow CEW board members and their friends to our first Annual Beauty with Benefits Shopping Party to, as Laurie said, “Buy, buy, buy!!!!!!”

This fabulous and generous group gathered at CEW's offices to buy products that their companies--and other leading names in beauty--donated to benefit Cancer and Careers. What a turnout. "Now that is what I call sisterhood!” Laurie commented.

In case you forgot, the QVC and CEW presents Beauty with Benefits broadcast supports CEWF’s Cancer and Careers program, the number one resource for working people with cancer. The event, now in its fourth year, has raised over $3 million for the organization to-date.
