"Every October, people across the nation from all backgrounds, backstories and backyards come together to raise awareness about the importance of breast cancer research," said Paul Buccieri, President, A+E Networks Group. "They do it because they have been touched by breast cancer, whether it's a mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a neighbor, a colleague, or even themselves. This strikes a personal chord with many of us here at A+E Networks, including myself. That is why I am particularly proud that Lifetime is celebrating 25 years in support of a cure."

"The Breast Cancer Research Foundation has been proud to collaborate with Lifetime on these efforts for many years now," said Myra Biblowit, President and CEO, Breast Cancer Research Foundation. "Together, we have reached millions of people and helped drive tangible change. We applaud Lifetime's unwavering commitment to breast cancer research."
