“We are honored to partner with Saks Palm Desert and Stand Up To Cancer to bring public support and awareness to cancer,” BIGHORN BAM founder Selby Dunham. “We are encouraging everyone to support this mission and BIGHORN BAM buy purchasing one of the Key To The Cure t-shirts and shop during October 27-30. The money raised is critical to fund cancer diagnostic equipment and potentially save lives.”

BIGHORN BAM was created by a group of women who supported a BIGHORN member who was fighting breast cancer. In the nine years since, BIGHORN BAM has raised over $6.5 million for early breast cancer detection, diagnosis and cancer screening. Their fundraising dollars have benefitted The Pendleton Foundation and Eisenhower Medical Center.

This year, Key To The Cure, has joined forces with Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) and the Entertainment Industry Foundation. Academy-Award winning actress Halle Berry is the campaign ambassador, appearing in public service announcements sporting the Christian Louboutin-designed t-shirt. Now it’s 18th year, the Key To The Cure and Saks Fifth Avenue has donated nearly $40 million to cancer research and treatment organizations.
