The Maurer
Foundation for Breast Health Education held its fifth
annual “Pink Diamond Ball” on May 31 at The Waldorf
Astoria in Manhattan with more than 1,000 guests in attendance. The
benefit raised over $1.6 million to support breast cancer prevention
and early detection. Donna Hanover presided
as the night’s emcee.
Singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow gave a powerful performance
that had the crowd on its feet for more than an hour, singing along
to the nine-time Grammy Award winner’s popular hits including “Gasoline,” “All
I Wanna Do,” and “If It Makes You Happy.” Crow
also shared details of her own breast cancer, calling herself the “poster
child” for early detection, and lauded the important educational
work of the Foundation on prevention and early detection of breast
cancer.
The Foundation proudly honored Stephen J. Dannhauser,
chairman of the global law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, who
is a tireless supporter of the Foundation and its education programs. Under
his leadership, the firm recently hosted a Maurer Foundation breast
health program for Weil Gotshal employees, both women and men, which
was simulcast to seven of the firm’s U.S. offices.
The Maurer Foundation is the only breast health education foundation
whose mission is dedicated exclusively to the prevention and early
detection of breast cancer. Through its free outreach,
The Maurer Foundation has educated hundreds of thousands of individuals
in community organizations and businesses such as Lehman Brothers,
Pfizer, the NYPD, Chase Bank, and CosmoGirl.
