“We want to show that whether you have been diagnosed with breast cancer or have a genetic marker, have breasts or have none, have visible scarring or even tattoos in place of nipples, it doesn’t matter. You are still empowered, strong and sexy!”
AnaOno partnered with the non-profit #Cancerland, which offers support and services to women with breast cancer, and actress Mira Sorvino hosted.
“I am thrilled to lend my support to this event, as it shines a light on the exuberance of the women living with metastatic breast cancer and highlights the need for greater money and resources put into finding a cure for this insidious disease, the only kind of breast cancer that kills women, 40,000 a year,” Sorvino said.
A portion of the tickets were open to the public for purchase, and all of the money raised will go to help breast cancer patients through #Cancerland.
“To bring together these elements of women who have been transformed, who are willing to be exposed, on the world’s stage of fashion and beauty is to bring powerful, needed awareness that this disease is affecting all of us,” #Cancerland founder Champagne Joy said.
