"BeautyCares calls on individuals, brands and businesses from across the beauty industry to join together with clinicians, caregivers, families, patients and survivors to demonstrate the energizing power of care, and the sense of confidence that women find when they are empowered to rediscover their control, beauty and sense of self during cancer treatment."

"I am privileged to serve on the board of an organization that so passionately works to improve the lives of people living with cancer, and proud to honor such an extraordinary group of individuals who have made it their mission to educate, support and treat those touched by the disease."
The DreamBall will also feature a performance by the new hit Broadway show, Pretty Woman: The Musical, which has designated Look Good Feel Better as a charitable partner.
