The Blue Jeans In Pink enter-to-win/fundraiser will go live on October 1, 2009 at 12:00 a.m. (EDT) at www.coldwatercreek.com/komen and will end on October 31, 2009 at 11:59 p.m. (EDT). Participants may also enter-to-win the celebrity decorated pair of jeans of their choice and/or opt to donate to Komen for the Cure in any of Coldwater Creek's 350+ stores nationwide during normal store hours for the entire month of October. No purchase is necessary to enter and a donation to Komen is not required to participate in the enter-to-win.

In custom decorating his or her Blue Jeans In Pink jeans, each celebrity worked with a pair of Coldwater Creek's signature, blue Knit Jeans and added his or her own original flare, creative vision and/or inspiring message using pink materials such as Swarovski crystals, ribbons, trimmings, etc. and in many cases, by painting original art directly on to the jeans.

Coldwater Creek's Knit Jeans offer a revolutionary and pioneering spin on traditional jeans by blending cotton and spandex into a stretchy knit that is both yarn dyed and washed to look just like denim. This proprietary process results in a great pair of stylish jeans that offer the unbelievable comfort of a knit without the stiffness of denim.

For more information on Blue Jeans In Pink, consumers can visit www.coldwatercreek.com/komen or any Coldwater Creek store. Official enter-to-win rules are available upon request.
