Estee Lauder Companies' 2010 Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign


Estee Lauder Companies’ 2010 Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign

CONNECT. COMMUNICATE. CONQUER.
PREVENT BREAST CANCER ONE WOMAN AT A TIME.
THE PINK RIBBON. WEAR IT. SHARE IT.

This year’s BCA Campaign theme draws its inspiration from The Estée Lauder Companies’ heritage, which dates back to 1946 when Mrs. Estée Lauder’s “High-Touch” method of reaching consumers was “Telephone, Telegraph, Tell-A-Woman.” Evelyn Lauder’s approach to conquering breast cancer reinterprets this powerful messaging into a philanthropic mission for today’s modern and fast-paced culture. The campaign encourages women and men to Connect with everyone they know and Communicate the importance of breast health and early detection. Indeed, this is Mrs. Evelyn Lauder’s call-to-action to Conquer this disease once and for all.

From 1993 through October 2010, The BCA Campaign and its retail partners expect to have raised more than $45 million for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to funding innovative, clinical and translational research and finding a cure in our lifetime.

I’d like to know why EL couldn’t have donated some money and shed a little spotlight on ovarian cancer. Their month is September and their color is aqua, and so far I’ve only seen a couple of L’Oreal products that even acknowledges O/C awareness.

It’s disappointing to me as I have a friend who is really fighting a battle against this insidious disease.

I think awareness should be brought to both equally.

Thank you for the post….I lost both my grandmother and mother to breast cancer….This post is very informative; only hoping the participating products were ‘active links’.

TG I always buy a few from the L’oreal Hope launch. And I agree, I think awareness should be equal for both.

I am sorry to hear about your friend please know I am sending tons of hope, love, prayers and healing thoughts to her, and huge hugs for you as well.
