With Mother’s Day this Sunday, it was more than fitting to celebrate the Cristie Collection – a partnership between Kwiat and Cristie Kerr to benefit Birdies for Breast Cancer and The American Cancer Society – Babe Zaharias Events at Tuesday night’s launch party in the Kwiat Madison Avenue boutique. Passed hors d’oeuvre, champagne and Kwiatinis did not distract from the evening’s purpose – finding a cure. Lowell Kwiat said it best, “all of us know some who has been affected by this disease” and the Kwiat family feels fortunate to be able work with Cristie and support such a worthy cause.
Cristie Kerr started Birdies for Breast Cancer in 2003 after her own mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. The news of her mother’s diagnosis rocked the LPGA champion golfer, but reacting as her family and friends knew she would, Cristie decided to fight back. So far Birdies for Breast Cancer has given over 1 million dollars towards finding a cure, and shows no sign of slowing down. 10% of the proceeds from the Cristie Collection will go directly to support breast cancer awareness and research. So if you’re still stuck on what to give mom this Mother’s Day, consider a piece of Kwiat jewelry – a gift that will last a lifetime and help find a cure. TheCristie Collection is now available at the Kwiat New York & Las Vegas boutiques as well as select Kwiat retailers.
