BCRF's Hot Pink Luncheon Coming Up on November 30th

BRCF's Upcoming Westchester HOT PINK Luncheon #BeTheEnd:

The Westchester community will be hosting its 10th Annual Breast Cancer Research Foundation HOT PINK Luncheon on Wednesday, November 30th at Brae Burn Country Club in Purchase. The event was originally created by lifelong friends and Scarsdale residents Shelly Kivell and Kim Meyers. "Our vision was to bring an information rich program to our Westchester friends and family. It's an incredible opportunity to hear directly from experts in breast cancer research while also raising money to fund ground breaking science" recalls Meyers.

And raising money, they have. Since inception the event has netted nearly $1.5 million, enabling the group to establish a $250,000 Westchester Women's Grant that is awarded annually as part of BCRF's overall mission: to advance the world's most promising research.

This year the group is thrilled that breast cancer survivor and Good Morning America anchor Amy Robach will open its event. The program will also highlight experts Larry Norton, BCRF Scientific Director, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Stuart Aaronson, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Attendees can participate in a unique interactive Q&A about research trends in breast cancer diagnostics, treatment and prevention.

What began as a predominantly "Scarsdale-centric" event, the Westchester Hot Pink Luncheon has grown in size, scope and leadership. Co-chairs and committee members now represent women from throughout the county but there remains a strong contingent of Scarsdalians at the helm including Marla Mehlman, Linda Plattus, Lisa Bezos, Allison Fehrenbacker, Kim Meyers, Monica Fried, Ruth Suzman, Stephanie Tessler and Elizabeth Chabner Thompson. These women emphasize that Cancer Divides, We Unite. Help be the end to breast cancer.
