customers an easy way support the fight against breast cancer and look
great while doing it."
The net profit from the new cause merchandise program, launched at
Kohl's in September 2010 and available year-round, supports the fight

breast cancer with a commitment of $7 million over three years to the

research, education and patient-assistance programs.
The women's health initiative builds upon Kohl's long history of
charitable involvement in the communities it serves. Since 2000, Kohl's
and the Kohl's Cares program have combined to give approximately $36
million to support charitable initiatives in the metro-Milwaukee area.
