2007 is Banner Year for L’Oréal Paris’ Corporate Philanthropy and Dedication to Women’s Causes

L’Oréal Paris is fully committed to supporting women’s issues and is honored to celebrate its 10-year anniversary as a partner of The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF). The partnership has raised over $13 million to fund much-needed research and awareness of this deadly disease. Most recently, L’Oréal Paris hosted “A Night of Hope” which raised $350,000 to benefit OCRF. L’Oréal Paris spokespersons Diane Keaton and Andie MacDowell co-hosted the event with L’Oréal Paris President Carol J. Hamilton and Harper’s Bazaar Editor-in-Chief Glenda Bailey, and they were also joined by L’Oréal Paris spokespersons Eva Longoria, Kerry Washington and Dayle Haddon in Los Angeles on November 7th for the fundraiser. All proceeds raised from “A Night of Hope” are donated to OCRF’s research programs. The evening included a cocktail reception and luxury silent auction featuring exceptional photography, fashions and accessories from designers including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Donna Karan, Bulgari and De Beers. President of L’Oréal Paris, Carol J. Hamilton noted, “This year marks the tenth anniversary of L’Oréal Paris’ support of The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. I am proud of the fact that L’Oreal is the largest corporate fundraiser in this critical fight against ovarian cancer. Since 1997, we have helped to raise over $13 million to fund life-saving research and to promote awareness building programs that help empower women to make educated choices about their health and well-being.” Image source: csrwire.com. > Continue.
