Our Legacy Charity

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® was founded in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder as a not-for-profit organization committed to funding scientific research to achieve prevention and a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime.

The Foundation supports scientists at top universities and academic medical centers worldwide conducting the most advanced and promising breast cancer research that will help lead to prevention and a cure in our lifetime. In October 2011, BCRF awarded $36.5 million to 186 scientists across the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia and China. Currently, more than 90 cents of every dollar donated is directed to breast cancer research and awareness programs. BCRF is proud to be our legacy charity. With your help, the Housewares Charity Foundation has donated more than $11 million to BCRF since 2000.
