The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. shared a post on LinkedIn:
“More than 30 years ago, Evelyn H. Lauder co-created the pink ribbon and sparked a movement. That movement raised over $9 million through the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s 2026 Hot Pink Party in New York City.
The Estée Lauder Companies was proud to join The Breast Cancer Research Foundation at the 2026 Hot Pink Party, an evening that honored the past, celebrated the present, and accelerated the future of breast cancer research.
Hosted by our Breast Cancer Campaign Global Ambassador, Elizabeth Hurley, and co-chaired by William P. Lauder and Stephane de La Faverie, amongst others, the night was a powerful testament to what’s possible when purpose-driven partnerships meet scientific innovation.
The evening celebrated Anthony von Mandl, with the Evelyn H. Lauder Spirit of Philanthropy Award for his tremendous contributions to BCRF, and Angela Le with the Unsung Hero Award for her behind-the-scenes advocacy for breast cancer patients. Guests were moved by a special performance from Elton John, paying tribute to Leonard A. Lauder, BCRF’s Honorary Chairman, In Memoriam, and his enduring legacy and commitment to this cause.
To date, The Estée Lauder Companies and its Charitable Foundation have funded more than $123 million to BCRF.
‘We’re here to celebrate the amazing researchers, first and foremost, and the incredible work they have done to help find a cure, as well as to celebrate the people who are the biggest supporters of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, because they provide the fuel that allows the researchers to advance progress.’ – William P. Lauder
We are honored to stand with every partner, advocate, and donor who showed up – for the researchers, for the patients, and for a future free of breast cancer.
