  1. August 14, 2010: If you haven't been to our site lately, you have missed many new additions.  We have added to our mens department as well as our new Team Scrubs, MLB and NFL.  We also have added Studio B - Boutique by Cherokee including petite scrub pants.

    We also have included the You Tube video for GirlyGirlParts. Please check it out on our homepage and we are still collecting for every clog purchase.


          July 17, 2010:  Walk for the Cure! FancyScrubs.com announces for every pair of clogs purchased between today and September 20, 2010, $10 per pair will be donated to the GirlyGirlParts (Pre-screening Awareness Required To Silence Ovarian Cancer) 2nd Annual 5K run/walk being held on September 25, 2010 Town Neck Beach in Sandwich, MA.     

    The event is open to the public and is designed to help raise awareness and research funds for a reliable early screening test for ovarian cancer. 

    Jill Di-Tommaso and Laura Smith, both Sandwich residents founded Girlygirl P.A.R.T.S in 2009.  The women were moved to create the organization after Di-Tommaso, who is in her early 40’s, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer after seeing her doctor for a routine visit in February, 2008.  “My case illustrates how ovarian cancer symptoms are truly ‘silent’ and emphasizes the need for a reliable screening test.”

    All proceeds from the 5K Run/Walk will go directly to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute specifically for ovarian cancer pre-screening research.

    The success of the foundation’s first event underscores the overwhelming need for public events in support of ovarian cancer awareness and research.  There are only 119 organizations nationwide dedicated to ovarian cancer while there are 1,700 organizations nationwide dedicated to breast cancer awareness and fundraising.  Approximately 26,000 new cases of ovarian cancer each year, among those, roughly 16,000 will die of the disease. September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.

    FancyScrubs.com features the Clogs for a Cure on their website along with Cape Clogs in variety of prints and colors to go with their nursing scrubs.

Shipping is FREE With Orders of $59 or More - All Others $8.99
