This year\u2019s Celebrating Women Luncheon<\/a> was a cornucopia of amazing people and announcements at the Hilton Anatole on Friday, October 31. Event Co-Chairs Lindsay Ballotta and Carolyn Brown touched all bases of why the Baylor Scott and White Dallas Foundation<\/a> has supported breast cancer research for 26 years.<\/p>\n

They could have just stopped having legendary breast cancer oncologist Dr. Joyce O\u2019Shaughnessy as the honorary chair. Why her devoted like patients Melissa Ireland and former Dallas Mayor Laura Miller,\u00a0associates Dr. Ronan Kelly and her family including husband Ed O\u2019Meara alone could have filled the ballroom. Each had a special appreciation and connection to the diminutive specialist who has been leading the advancement of research and treatments for breast cancer.<\/p>\n

But Foundation President Christina Goodman only heightened the occasion with the announcement of the creation of the Dr. Joyce O\u2019Shaughnessy Endowment For Innovation And Hope In Breast Cancer. She then followed that up with the presentation of the Circle Of Care Award to President Mike Lunceford and the late Mary Kay Ash\u2018s great granddaughter Jessica Baer for the millions of dollars that Mary Kay Ash Foundation has funded research.<\/p>\n

They could have stopped there, but a conversation moderated by Pat Smith with breast cancer survivor\/business woman\/The Home Edit<\/a> Co-Founder Clea Shearer, who shared her journey from \u201cfiring on all cylinders\u201d to enduring a double mastectomy, both chemo and radiation treatments and 15 surgeries in three years.<\/p>\n
