Since founded by Evelyn H. Lauder in 1993, The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) has raised over $370 million to advance the most promising breast cancer research worldwide that will help lead to prevention and a cure in our lifetime. In 2011-2012, BCRF grants were supporting 187 dedicated researchers at major medical institutions across the globe.
BCRF continues to remain one of the most fiscally responsible charities in the country. It holds a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, its tenth such designation since 2002. Additionally, BCRF is the only cancer organization designated as “A+” by Charity Watch. The numbers speak for themselves. One hundred percent of the Play for P.I.N.K. proceeds is donated to BCRF.
“With a portfolio of the world’s greatest collective brain trust of more than 200 committed researchers globally, we know that we can find the answers in science – if only we dedicate ourselves to this mission. Thank you to all of the individuals, groups, companies and organizations whose dedication and support enable us to continue to fund the world’s most promising research. Together, we can realize a world without breast cancer,” said Myra J. Biblowit, president of The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
