November 8, 2001 - - San Francisco, CA -- V-Day, the global movement to stop violence against women and girls, and Karen Neuburger, pajama and lifestyle designer, announced their marketing partnership to raise money to help stop violence against women and girls.

V-Day has joined forces with Karen Neuburger in a collaboration that will raise money through the sale of KN's V-Day pajama. Karen Neuburger's net proceeds from the sale of the V-Day pajama will be donated to V-Day to be distributed to non-profit, anti-violence groups including rape crisis centers and domestic violence shelters. In addition, Karen Neuburger has signed on as a sponsor of the local 2002 V-Day San Francisco event, which is part of V-Day's Worldwide Campaign and will star, Eve Ensler, on February 12, 2002.

The pajamas were designed to give a global feel to this worldwide concern. The pattern features flowers and swirled script reading: Until the Violence Stops, in various languages including Spanish, French, Chinese, Hindi, Korean, Mandarin, Italian, Swedish, German and Indonesian.

Karen Neuburger V-Day pajamas will be available in sizes small to extra-large, and will sell for $62. The pajamas will be available at Nordstrom, Parisian, Dillard's, Macy's West and online at www.eziba.com/vday.
