"I am so pleased to see CEW and QVC coming together for the first ever Beauty with Benefits show," said Geller. "As a longtime supporter of Cancer and Careers, I have always believed that if beauty companies could join efforts to give back, we could make a significant impact. It not only feels good to educate women on how they can look better, but it feels even more empowering when you know you are personally helping to make a difference."
