Available at Saks Fifth Avenue A Lifeline for Change Donna McKay, the powerhouse behind the BCRF, is on a mission. As President and CEO, she's led the foundation through unprecedented growth that has seen remarkable success, thanks in part to its longstanding partnership with Estée Lauder Companies (ELC). "Since ELC's Breast Cancer Campaign began in 1992, their support has been integral in helping us fund transformative research," McKay says. "Their commitment has allowed us to accelerate new treatments and therapies that have saved countless lives." But the journey doesn't end with research breakthroughs. Through this partnership, BCRF has made significant strides in addressing disparities in breast cancer care that affect those in underserved communities. "Together, we're not just fighting cancer—we're also tackling the systemic inequities that affect care and access," McKay explains. "In 2022, ELC pledged $15 million to help improve outcomes for Black women, who continue to face disproportionate challenges when it comes to breast cancer diagnosis and treatment." McKay's vision for the future is all about expansion. "We're continuing to evolve our work, reaching younger and more diverse audiences," she says. "It's about ensuring that everyone, no matter their background or age, feels they are part of the solution. We want to inspire the next generation to take action and help us end breast cancer for good." — D. F. B HS B CR F 5 ESTÉE LAUDER PINK RIBBON PIN Be a cheerleader for the cause!
