Wrapped in Love and Kelly Ripa Launch Limited-Edition Socks to Support Ovarian Cancer Research
Wrapped in Love and Kelly Ripa have partnered to create limited-edition teal socks with 100% of proceeds benefiting ovarian cancer research, honoring personal losses to the disease and raising awareness during Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.
Wrapped in Love, a designer of clothing and accessories for cancer patients, has announced a collaboration with talk show host and actress Kelly Ripa to launch limited-edition socks for Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. The partnership honors the personal losses both women have experienced to ovarian cancer, with founder Karen Mac Donald stating, "Kelly and I both lost loved ones to ovarian cancer. Giving back and the comfort of a warm pair of socks are something we – and most people – agree on, so we decided to design a sock to raise money for Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance to help eradicate this terrible disease."
The teal-colored knee-high socks feature a teal ribbon symbolizing ovarian cancer awareness on both sides, with a small pink heart representing Wrapped in Love in the center, bracketed by black, white and teal stripes. Priced at $20 per pair, 100% of every sale will be donated directly to Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA), the world's largest organization dedicated to fighting ovarian and gynecologic cancers. The limited-edition socks are available while supplies last exclusively through www.wrappedinlove.com/kellyripa.
OCRA's mission focuses on improving treatments, attracting leading scientists to the field, and providing critical support for patients and their families. Mac Donald emphasized the importance of the initiative, noting, "By wearing teal this September, you're standing with every woman and family affected by this disease as well as helping fuel the research that can change their future. We know how urgently better treatments and early detection are needed. If these socks can spark a conversation, encourage someone to learn the symptoms or benefit research funding, then we're making progress." The collaboration represents a significant effort to combine fashion with philanthropy during September's Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, leveraging celebrity influence to drive awareness and funding for critical cancer research.
