Managing Director, Play for P.I.N.K.
THE BREAST CANCER RESEARCH FOUNDATION
Background
Breast cancer is a complex disease with no simple solution. Research is the key to stopping it in its tracks. Founded in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) is the largest private funder of breast cancer research in the world. We invest in the best minds in science—from those investigating prevention, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and metastasis—giving them the opportunity to pursue their most innovative ideas. Our combination of investment and cross-disciplinary collaboration accelerates the entire field and builds momentum for new discoveries.
Since its inception, BCRF has invested over $900 million in research, which has significantly contributed to a 43% decline in breast cancer deaths over the past three decades. BCRF investigators have been behind every major breakthrough in breast cancer research, and the field is moving faster than ever.
Today, BCRF is the largest private funder of breast cancer research—and metastatic breast cancer research—worldwide and the country’s top-rated breast cancer research organization. BCRF is currently supporting 255 investigators across 14 countries at leading medical and academic institutions with $62.3 million in scientific grants.
About Play for P.I.N.K.

Thanks to underwriting from The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Campaign, Play for P.I.N.K. (PFP) donates 100% of all proceeds to BCRF to fund the world’s leading researchers. The organization continues to grow in staff, geographic reach and its fundraising. Last year, over 250 events were organized by volunteers across 30 states raising a record-breaking $5.75 million. Since its inception, Play for P.I.N.K. has raised nearly $80 million to fund breast cancer research that is saving lives, improving outcomes and uncovering new approaches to this challenging disease.
