About Play for P.I.N.K.
Play for P.I.N.K. (Prevention, Immediate diagnosis, New
technology, Knowledge) or (PFP) was started in 1990 by a
group of women who were saddened when one of their friends
was diagnosed with breast cancer. Over the past ten years,
participation has grown to more than 300 clubs in 27 states
across the country. In November 2012, Play for P.I.N.K.
presented The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® with a
check for
$4 million, bringing PFP's total contribution to $29.75
million dollars since 1996. Bloombergis Title Sponsor of
Play for P.I.N.K. and generously underwrites the program,
thus allowing 100 percent of monies raised by PFP to go
directly to breast cancer research.
About The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, founded by Evelyn H.
Lauder in 1993, is an independent not-for-profit
organization committed to funding scientific research to
achieve prevention and a cure for breast cancer in our
lifetime. In October 2012, BCRF awarded $40 million to 197
scientists across the United States, Canada, Latin America,
Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and China. To date, BCRF
has raised more than $400 million. With 91 cents of every
dollar spent by BCRF directed towards breast cancer research
and awareness programs, BCRF remains one of the most
fiscally responsible charities in the country. For the tenth
time since 2002, it has earned 4 stars from Charity
Navigator. Additionally, BCRF is the only breast cancer
organization rated an "A+" by CharityWatch. For more
