- Stephen Ross, Doug Blonsky & Evelyn H. Lauder Flip the Switch to Send the Important Message of Breast Health -
New York, NY September 30, 2009 – The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) Campaign is proud to partner with Time Warner Center and Columbus Circle Fountain to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of its Global Landmark Illumination Initiative by illuminating in pink lights on October 1.
Evelyn H. Lauder, Senior Corporate Vice President, The Estée Lauder Companies, Doug Blonsky, President of The Central Park Conservancy, and Stephen M. Ross, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Related Companies and owner of the Miami Dolphins, will flip the switch.
The Time Warner Center and Columbus Circle Fountain are the first landmarks in New York City to be illuminated this October as part of The Estée Lauder Companies’ Global Landmark Illumination Initiative. Evelyn Lauder, a prominent activist for breast health, co-created the Pink Ribbon in 1992 with SELF magazine and is the creative, driving force behind the BCA Campaign. Mrs. Lauder began the Global Landmark Illumination Initiative in 2000 to serve as a beacon of awareness of breast health for women around the world. Since that time, the initiative has illuminated hundreds of famous buildings, monuments and landmarks in glowing pink lights around the world. These world-famous monuments have become international symbols of hope, and they continue to empower and enlighten millions of women everywhere.
Evelyn Lauder stated, “The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign is thrilled to be partnering with Time Warner Center and Central Park Conservancy for the 10th Anniversary of our Global Landmark Illumination Campaign. These illuminations serve as a symbol for breast health and remind women to check their breasts regularly and to get a mammogram every year if over the age of 40. This October, Time Warner Center and Columbus Circle Fountain will join more than 200 landmarks around the world in this life saving initiative. Women and men need to know that if a breast cancer is found early, it’s 98% curable.”
Mr. Ross added, “Early detection of breast cancer followed by prompt treatment saves lives. Related and the Time Warner Center are extremely proud to be taking part in the Global Landmark Illumination Initiative by illuminating Time Warner Center and the Columbus Circle fountain and helping to raise awareness of the importance of early detection methods.”
Landmarks being illuminated in the U.S. as part of the Company’s Global Landmark Illumination Initiative include John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York (September 29), One Franklin Square in Washington, D.C (September 29), Columbia Square in Washington D.C (September 30), Bloomingdale’s 59th Street Store in New York City (October 12), the Los Angeles International Airport (October 12) and The University of Michigan’s University Hospital (October 12).

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
