Lauder’s passion for helping women live longer and better lives, and everything she undertakes reflects that commitment. For many years Elizabeth enthusiastically toured the world with Evelyn Lauder on behalf of The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) Campaign, raising awareness about the importance of breast health and early detection, and raising funds for research to find a cure. In 2013, Elizabeth will be showing her strength, standing side-by-side with William P. Lauder, Executive Chairman of The Estée Lauder Companies, as they motivate women and families around the world to join together in strength to embrace wellbeing and act in a more powerful way to move us closer to a world without breast cancer. The breast cancer cause strikes close to home for Elizabeth as her grandmother died of the disease in 1992. Like so many women of her generation, her grandmother had been afraid to tell anyone that she had a lump. Bearing the memory of that experience, Elizabeth recognizes the strength of working together to educate women and men about the disease and doing all she can to raise funds that support life-saving breast cancer research.

  • Nelson Mandela Bridge Goes Pink for Breast Cancer
    NELSON MANDELA BRIDGE GOES PINK FOR BREAST CANCER DRIVE Programme Director Distinguished Guests Representatives of Estee Lauder Company ED: Health, Dr Refik Bismilla City of Johannesburg officials Councillors Ladies and Gentlemen Good Evening We are meeting tonight on the 20th Anniversary of the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign. It is almost a year to this day since the champion of Breast Cancer Research, Evelyn Lauder passed on at the age of 75. She had lived with the disease for 22 years until her death. Oh! What a loss to mankind I must add. This larger than life lady philanthropist who, in her young days, was a refugee of Nazi – occupied Europe gave the world the Pink Ribbon Campaign as a symbol of breast cancer. The Philanthropist Evelyn Lauder founded the 1 Breast Cancer Research Foundation which has raised more than $350 million for the cause she believed in. Tonight throughout the globe, certain identified landmarks will be lit Pink and I am convinced that that will make Evelyn smile knowing that her good work is continuing despite the fact that she is in the heavenly world. I deliberately decided to start my talk by paying tribute to this selfless visionary, because tonight as we are gathered here, we intend to take forward a cause that was her passion. That ladies and gentlemen is the Pink Ribbon to highlight the challenge regarding Breast Cancer. The City of Johannesburg, through one of the GDS outcomes which is, “eradicating poverty”, the city intends to address the ravages of poverty so that the health of our people can be improved.

SMALLEST RECOMMENDED SIZE = 8PT TAGLINE TEXT VIVIAN CALVO Senior Consultant, Communications, U.S. Hispanic Markets In November 2001, my 32-year-old daughter, Adriana, felt a lump on her right breast. Her doctor suggested a mammogram, followed by a sonogram and a biopsy. Soon after, Adriana was diagnosed with breast cancer—she had two lumps and both were malignant. I knew that the first thing I needed to do was to call The Estée Lauder Companies (ELC). Fighting breast cancer and spreading the message that early detection saves lives has always been part of our Company’s DNA through The Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) Campaign. As soon as I arrived home, I reached out to a New York colleague with my devastating news. I turned to ELC for any and all assistance they could provide. The BCA Campaign helped every step of the way. In March 2008, I had my yearly mammogram and received a call from my doctor. He had noted a cluster of calcifications on my left breast and ordered a biopsy. Days later, when I picked up the phone and heard my doctor’s voice at the other end, I knew immediately what I did not want to hear: I had breast cancer. Back to oncologists, PET scans, fears and doubts.
