BCRF PINK PRESS SUMMER 2009 :: The Symposium and Hot Pink Luncheon in Palm Beach



		WINTER 2010

	The Symposium and Hot Pink Luncheon in Palm Beach The Flagler Museum was the sun-filled setting for the Sixth Annual Palm Beach Symposium and Hot Pink Luncheon on February 9th. The day commenced with a thought-provoking panel discussion entitled "How Science is Revolutionizing Our Approach to Breast Cancer", moderated by BCRF Scientific Director, Dr. Larry Norton, who opened the proceedings by highlighting BCRF's emphasis on creativity, giving researchers the freedom to follow their vision. "Our understanding of the biology of cancer is leading us to the point of major advances...Cancer can be cured. What makes this era different from what has come before is that our discoveries are yielding fundamental knowledge, so it's not just trial and error," Dr. Norton explained. Panelists included Drs. Clifford Hudis, William Kaelin, Marc Lippman and Kornelia Polyak, all BCRF grantees. Thanks to the leadership of co-chairmen Donna Acquavella, Sandra Krakoff, Evelyn Lauder, Hillie Mahoney, Pauline Pitt, Tricia Quick, Hilary Geary Ross, and Frances Scaife, the event raised over $300,000. Generous underwriting was made possible by Evelyn and Leonard Lauder, NetJets and UBS. A kick-off dinner celebrating the underwriters and leadership was hosted by Advisory Board member Tricia Quick.
