Sareen, CEO and President of Omni United.

The BCRF Omni United partnership promotes key goals of both organizations. "It was always the vision of Evelyn Lauder, BCRF founder, to extend the message of The Breast Cancer Research Foundation^® both internationally and into traditionally male oriented industries. Our partnership with Omni United accomplishes both of these goals. We are very grateful to be aligned with Omni United," said Myra J. Biblowit, BCRF President. "The funds raised through the 2011 Mobilizing Hope campaign are deeply appreciated and will fully fund one BCRF research grant this October.
