Epione’s Botox to Cure Women's Cancer effort in Beverly Hills will take the growing trend of women and men being treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic in the United States and turn it into a philanthropic call to action to find a cure for women’s cancer.
Beverly Hills, Calif. (PRWEB) November 7, 2007 -- A unique Beverly Hills fundraising event will turn Botox profits into financial support for the battle against cancer, say event organizers Epione Beverly Hills and Medical Director Dr. Simon Ourian. In November, a percentage of all BOTOX® Cosmetic profits will be donated to organizations dedicated to finding cures for breast and ovarian cancer by Epione Beverly Hills and Allergan, Inc.
Botox to Cure Women's Cancer project will take the growing trend of women and men being treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic in the United States and turn it into a philanthropic call to action to find a cure for women’s cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 678,000 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed among women in 2007. The chance of developing invasive breast cancer at some time in a woman's life is about 1 in 8 (12%). It is estimated that in 2007 about 178,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among women in the United States. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 22,430 new cases of ovarian cancer will be diagnosed in the United States during 2007.
Allergan, Inc. has agreed to donate BOTOX Cosmetic® for this event, and Dr. Ourian and his Beverly Hills staff will be donating their time and expertise for this worthwhile cause. Dr. Ourian has opted to initiate this effort because of his extensive experience in the use of BOTOX® Cosmetic to reduce frown lines and facial wrinkles.
"I have family and loved ones who have been touched by cancer. I plan to do this every November until the day it will no longer be necessary,” said Dr. Ourian.
