Kohl's Teams Up with FILA SPORT to Fight Breast Cancer with Style
MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Kohl's
Department Stores (NYSE: KSS) is helping customers take a stand
against breast cancer with FILA SPORT athletic merchandise
designed exclusively by Kohl's for the Kohl's Cares cause
merchandise program. Available now through the end of October, Kohl's
encourages customers to exercise in style with athletic offerings from
FILA Sport. The apparel and accessories can be found in all 40 Wisconsin
Kohl's stores and online at www.Kohls.com,
with 100 percent of the net profit donated to support the fight against
breast cancer.
The exclusive collection from FILA SPORT includes fashionable yet
functional athletic apparel and accessories for men and women, available
for just $5 or $10 each. All merchandise, from workout gear including
tops, shorts, sports bras and socks to accessories such as hats,
watches, water bottles and more, shows support in various shades of

cause merchandise has its own center aisle display where all items are
located in one spot to make it easy for customers to support the cause.

"We are thrilled to add the FILA SPORT athletic merchandise to the
Kohl's Cares offerings, especially during Breast Cancer Awareness
Month," said Julie Gardner, Kohl's executive vice president and chief
marketing officer. "We hope the stylish athletic gear will not only
encourage people to stay healthy and exercise but also join together to
support women's health by participating in local breast cancer walks and
runs."
Launched at Kohl's in September 2010 and available year-round, 100
percent of the net profit from this cause merchandise program supports
the fight against breast cancer. Kohl's also supports women's health
with a commitment of $7 million over three years to the American Cancer
Society's Midwest Division and the Southeast Wisconsin Affiliate of
Susan G. Komen for the Cure to support breast cancer
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 $38
million to support charitable initiatives in the metro-Milwaukee area.
Also, over the past 10 years, the company's Kohl's Cares cause
merchandise program, which sells plush toys and books, has raised more
than $180 million to benefit children's health and education initiatives
nationwide.
