With over 200 Sussan stores nationally, the collaboration will focus on promoting the My Journey Kit and raising money for BCNA. Sussan’s relationship with BCNA began in mid-2006 with the in-store sale of a limited edition leather bag with all proceeds being donated directly to BCNA. As a result, the partnership has been kick started with an amazing $23,000 donation. In August, Lyn Swinburne spoke to Sussan store managers, who are all excited about the opportunities for our partnership and are keen to involve women in their local area. Sussan and BCNA look forward to a strong partnership that will deliver BCNA’s messages to the Sussan customer base and beyond. Keep an eye out in your local Sussan store and on thiswebsite for the great in-store promotions.
