Any excuse to go to the Waldorf Astoria is a good excuse.
The Hot Pink Party called “Can Can” given by The Breast Cancer Research Foundation was a kick kick. The Roz and Les Goldstein presented the “unsung hero award” to the gracious Cindy Citrone.
Cocktails began at 7 in the Astor and Jade Salons – dinner and the performance by Sir Elton John were in the Grand Ballroom. I only stayed for the cocktail hour and was thrilled to see the who’s who of New York’s philanthropist society. Vera Wang, Elizabeth Hurley, Ally Coulter, Eric Vincent, Iris Dankner, Tory Burch, Champagne Joy and Michael Kors were just a few of the friendly faces I spied at this elegant event.
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) advances the world’s most promising research to eradicate breast cancer in our lifetime. Founded by Evelyn H. Lauder in 1993, BCRF has raised more than $475 million to fuel discoveries in tumor biology, genetics, prevention, treatment,survivorship and metastasis. This year, BCRF invested $45 million in the work of more than 200 researchers at leading medical institutions across six continents.
By spending 91 cents of every dollar on research and public awareness, BCRF remains one of the nation’s most fiscally responsible charities. They are the only breast cancer organization with an “A+” from CharityWatch, and have been awarded a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator 12 times since 2002.
