Night of Fashion in Support of Breast Cancer Research

On Saturday night, September 26th 2010, Hollywood launched its 6th annual Pink Party as a fundraiser for women’s cancer research. The stars dressed all in pink to support women and families who have been impacted by breast cancer.

This is not the only event in which celebrities have openly shown their support. Many celebrities, such as Nicole Kidman, Minnie Driver and Barbara Windsor have publicly supported breast cancer research.

Recently, representatives from the Italian fashion line Gucci met with the Women’s Cancer Research Fund, co-founded by Kelly Chapman Meyer, Marion Laurie, Anne Douglas, Quinn Ezralow and Jamie Tisch, to discuss potential causes of breast cancer and to show their support.

Supporting the Fight Against Women’s Cancers

A recent weekend in Toronto was dedicated to the support of fighting cancers that afflict women with thousands of people walking the streets dressed in pink shirts, ultimately raising over $10million by the Shoppers Drug Mart Weekend to End Women's Cancer which will be given to The Campbell Family Institute at the Princess Margaret Hospital for cancer research. While there were some male participants, the majority of walkers were women clad in bright pink sunglasses and flowery hats. It was very emotional since everyone walking is affected – either personally or with someone they love. Raising awareness of women’s cancers is extremely important and today, there are many organizations trying to do just this. Indeed, the Women’s Cancer Research Fund –co-founded by Jamie Tisch – works hard to raise monies for research and prevention of women’s cancers and, as a result of all its efforts, has seriously made a difference in the lives of many women.
