The Collections at WSA will host both silent and online auctions as part of its first charity event to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF).

The “Super Slippers” program is an exciting new element of “The Glass Slipper Awards” cocktail party that honors display innovation within the exhibitor suites. The Collections at WSA is the premier luxury footwear, handbags and accessories “show-within-a-show” held in Las Vegas as part of the The WSA Show, Feb. 1-4, 2007.

The “Super Slippers” silent auction presents soft sculpture shoe-shaped “slippers” that are decorated, embellished and styled by the leading footwear designers exhibiting at the show. These one-of-a-kind works of art will showcase the designs of Bettye Muller, Taryn Rose, Claudia Ciuiti, DETNY by Shane & Shawn, and many more.

Silent auction bids will be limited to those attending the “Glass Slipper Awards” on Sat., Feb. 3, 2007, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm at Pinot Brasserie, located on the casino level of The Venetian.

“It is an important step for us to be able to leverage the strength of the designer footwear sector worldwide to benefit the OCRF while raising the profile of the show. This is our way of honoring our exhibitors while helping OCRF and this charity event -- all with the purpose of raising money to fight this silent killer of women,” said Leslie Gallin, director of The Collections at WSA.

Bidding online for designer footwear and handbags donated by exhibitors with the proceeds to benefit OCRF will be open to shoe-lovers all over the world via The Collections at WSA/OCRF live eBay auction at ebay website wsacollections section Jan. 24-31, 2007 and Feb. 3-10, 2007. Most of the brands now exhibiting with The Collections at WSA are expected to provide product to the auctioned off.
