Honoring Mr. Leonard A. Lauder with the 2015 Roslyn and Leslie Goldstein “Sung” Hero Award, the room was elegantly designed in pink and gold to reflect the grandeur of Mr. Lauder’s incredible achievements, including his irreplaceable guidance in growing BCRF to become one of the largest private funders of breast cancer research in the world. Hosted by supermodel and actress Elizabeth Hurley, a longstanding advocate and Global Ambassador for The Estee Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign, with an appearance by Sir Elton John, the event featured a moving performance by eighteen-time Grammy Award winner Tony Bennett.
