The Pink Agenda, Giuliana Rancic, Lord & Taylor and Estée Lauder Celebrate Chicago-Area FABtober Winners on October 24
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 26, 2015 -- On October 24, Giuliana Rancic met with a group of young women battling breast cancer at an intimate event hosted by the Lord & Taylor at Oakbrook Center in Oak Brook, IL. The celebratory event is part of FABtober, a month-long campaign launched by The Pink Agenda and Rancic’s FAB-U-WISH program and sponsored by Lord & Taylor and Estée Lauder to help young women fighting breast cancer feel beautiful while also raising awareness for breast cancer research.
At the October 24th event, Chicago-area FABtober winners enjoyed mingling with fellow breast cancer warriors as well as spending time with Rancic. At the Oakbrook event and throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month, FAB-U-WISH and The Pink Agenda announced a FABtober recipient each day in October, granting women battling breast cancer with an in-store Pink Agenda Party with friends. Women were treated to a glamorous Estée Lauder makeover experience at their local Lord & Taylor, a gift basket of Estée Lauder products and gift cards for personalized beauty products.
“We’ve taken Breast Cancer Awareness Month by storm with our mission to grant 31 wishes in 31 days with our FABtober campaign. Now that we’re nearing the month’s end, we’ve seen how meaningful this has been to these women. Sometimes a little pick me up – like a makeover with friends – can lift the spirits of women currently fighting this disease. We hope this raises awareness to help fulfill the ultimate wish of finding a cure,” Rancic said.
FAB-U-WISH has announced the lucky winners via The Pink Agenda’s Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts. FABtober stories can be viewed via bit.ly/fabtoberphotos.
Funds raised through the FABtober campaign are helping grant wishes year-round as well as supporting the lifesaving research needed to fulfill the ultimate wish - finding a cure for breast cancer. Donations can be made to bit.ly/givefabtober. Visit http://www.thepinkagenda.org to learn more.
