“This is a wonderful and rare opportunity to partner with an organization in a promotion that creatively brings attention to a very worthy cause,” said Nicole Sedita, vice president, Warner Bros. National Promotions. “The movie Valentine’s Day is about the one day devoted to expressions of love, and what better way to express how much you care than to support the fight against breast cancer.”

As a part of the effort to find a cure, cast members model pieces from the Ford Warriors in Pink apparel collection in national print ads, which will appear in publications including People, US Weekly, InStyle, SELF and Glamour. Stars, including Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Eric Dane, Patrick Dempsey, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Topher Grace, Anne Hathaway and George Lopez appear in the ads to remind viewers that breast cancer touches the lives of people of all ages.
