Shopping at Loehmann’s enables a customer to make some serious fashion purchases and save money at the same time.  It’s a great feeling to get your heart’s desire and not feel that regretful shopper’s guilt.  Now Loehmann’s has made it even easier to shop guilt free:

This Thursday evening, only at their Manhattan store in Chelsea, not only will you spend less on designer fashions, but 5% of your purchases will directly be given as a donation by Loehmann’s to Gilda’s Club New York City.

Named in memory for Saturday Night Live original, Gilda Radner, who lost her battle with ovarian cancer in 1989, Joanna Bull, Gilda Radner’s cancer psychotherapist together with Gilda’s husband Gene Wilder, and  several of Gilda’s other friends founded the first Gilda’s Club in 1991.  Since 1995, the signature red doors have been open and welcoming persons diagnosed with any form of the disease.

Gilda’s Club is distinguished by its unique philosophy and program. Completely free of charge, Gilda’s Club encourages a sense of “expertise” among members, and emphasizes community-building, collective wisdom and shared experience.  Gilda’s Club‘s unique philosophy of helping people learn how to live with cancer, whatever the outcome, not only for those diagnosed but also for their family and friends. The support groups, workshops and social activities all provide much needed life assistance for people living with cancer and their families.

With 5% percent of the evening’s proceeds to benefit this important organization, think with your heart as you shop till you drop. Every $500 donated will sponsor one Gilda Club member affected by cancer for one year allowing him or her to participate in the full range of Gilda’s Club programs. For a location like NY and a store like Loehmann’s, it’s not hard to imagine that it is possible. 

Only this Thursday evening, March 27^th from 4:30pm - 8:30pm all the goods of the Chelsea store, located at 101 Seventh Avenue, will be waiting for you. Please join Loehmann’s in supporting this very important organization and go at little crazy. It’s for a good cause.
