In line with its global mission, the Estee Lauder Companies has committed itself to improving the lives of women affected by breast cancer. In the Philippines, the campaign has facilitated free mammograms and donated bio-hood machines to assist with chemotherapy treatments in Philippine General Hospital. 

Estee Lauder is uniting with their business partners to continue to raise awareness for the cause, increase their donations to charitable organizations, and work towards providing free screening and treatments for underprivileged women year after year. This year, they are honoring the 30th Anniversary of the Breast Cancer Campaign through various initiatives. 

Last October 13, the Estee Lauder Companies, together with Kaye Tinga, Tessa Prieto, Tim Yap, Yaparazzi, Tatler Philippines, and Shangri-La The Fort hosted a fundraising charity gala for the benefit of the Philippines Foundation for Breast Care, Inc. (Kasuso Foundation). 

The night was filled with musical performances by Stephanie Kienle Gonzales, Ronnie Fortich, Gian Magdangal, Kayla Rivera, Arman Ferrer, Kate Torralba, and Martin Nievera. 

A range of items donated such as a Vespa S125 in white by Motoitalia Inc, an Omega Aqua Terra Watch from the Lucerne Group of Companies, Champagne Semi-Baroque Pearls Strand by Jewelmer, La Mer limited edition Crème de la Mer 500ml from the Estee Lauder Companies, “Monster in Pink” sculpture by Distort Monsters, art piece by Jana Benitez, and round-trip tickets and one-night stay at Shangri-La Paris from the Shangri-La Group and Turkish Airlines, were part of the live auction during the night. 

A silent auction was also available for guests to place their bids on. This included a display of the following items: Estee Lauder Beautiful Magnolia 100ml, autographed by Ana De Armas; and Aerin Rose De Grasse 50ml, autographed by Aerin Lauder from the Estee Lauder Companies; art pieces by Soler Santos; art piece by Tata Montilla; a Dyson and pink Nutribullet bundle from Whiteplane, Inc.; Carved Yellow Jade Flower Earrings with Tsavorite Flower and Diamonds by Jul B Dizon Jewellery; art piece by Vincent de Pio donated by Sheila Romero; and an art piece by Michelle Perez from Michelle Perez and Finale Gallery. 

The fundraising initiative of the gala raised PHP 9.8M in total from donations, charity gala table sales, and from the evening’s auction. This will help to support 6,500 free mammograms for underprivileged women. The night ended with an after party to celebrate the evening’s accomplishments.
