For what to wear to this phabulous philanthropic affair, we naturally wanted to be in the pink and found a perfectly pitched party frock at Bergdorf Goodman. For accessories, we added a subdued neutral sparkle that compliments the vibrant color so well.

The Ellen Hermanson Foundation was established in 1997 to honor the memory of Ellen Hermanson and carry on the important work to which she devoted so much of her time and energy. An activist and an advocate, Ellen channeled her journalistic talents to become a forceful voice for breast cancer patients and their families. She educated her readers about the importance of early detection, the challenges of living with breast cancer, the very real, but little-discussed or understood, issue of pain management, and the debilitating effects of breast cancer on the entire family.
