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.

Major Donors to the Women’s Cancer Research Fund

One of the major donors to the Women’s Cancer Research Fund, co-founded by Kelly Chapman Meyer, Marion Laurie, Anne Douglas, Quinn Ezralow and Jamie Tisch, is the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure was started by Susan G. Komen’s sister, Nancy G. Brinker. Nancy promised her sister, after Susan’s fight with breast cancer, that she would do everything in her power to fight the cancer.

That promise turned into Susan G. Komen for the Cure. They are a global leader in the breast cancer movement, with almost $1.5 billion invested since the inception in 1982. They are the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists. Certainly, the co-founders of the Women’s Cancer Research Fund, including Jamie Tisch, are thrilled to have the support of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
