Uma Thurman's Key To The Cure For Charity

Uma Thurman has been named by the Entertainment Industry Foundation as this year’s ambassador for Saks’ Key to the Cure campaign.

The actress will take over from Gwyneth Paltrow as the face of the campaign, and will promote special T-Shirts to help raise money for the EIF’s Breast Cancer Research Fund.

“Everyone I know has been affected by breast cancer one way or the other,” she said. "It is vital that we work toward a cure as well as develop more accurate and advance testing.

“For me, it’s not just about dressing women; it’s about addressing the issues that are so important to all of us.”

The campaign, which has raised over $33 million in the last 12 years, will kick off in October.
