The Women’s Cancer Research Fund unfurled the pink carpet for “An Unforgettable Evening” at the Beverly Wilshire in Los Angeles on Thursday night, raising $1.8 million for breast cancer research. Fresh off her best actress Oscar win for “Judy,”“My friend Nanci Ryder was diagnosed with breast cancer in the early 2000s, so we did some advocacy work for different organizations. We’ve been following the work of this particular group for quite some time,”Zellweger told.
Of capping off a big start to 2020 by being guest of honor at the event, Zellweger added, “[I] feel a little spoiled rotten to be honest. I got a lot of special memories and experiences with my friends. It was a really, really memorable year.”Zellweger accepted the Courage Award for her contributions and advocacy for breast cancer awareness and research throughout her career at the annual fundraising event.
“There’s a day in the summer time, it’s usually in August, where we get together,” Wilson said. “We’ve done the research of all the scientists that are working in the areas that we find really exciting and really progressive, either in prevention or cure, and we sign those checks and say ‘This is for your grant money so you can continue your work.’ That is a really exciting day.”
With over 275,000 cases diagnosed in the United States each year, breast cancer treatment and awareness is personal to many, including Wilson, who discussed her own experience as a breast cancer survivor. “When we started out doing this event, I didn’t think I would ever get breast cancer and that I’d be able to use the resources of this amazing organization to help find me my doctors… Think about the days when women didn’t have reconstructive surgery and you were left with a scar and an empty void. Now we have reconstruction. I like to say that I finally went Hollywood [and] got some implants,” Wilson quipped.
