Responding To The Challenge

Lanee's company, PlatinumOne Cosmetics, in collaboration with Premier and Unity Entertainment Group presented the 2nd Annual Responding To The Challenge Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser that took place on November 18th, 2007 in Berkeley, California.

This Fashion and Entertainment Showcase  featured celebrity speakers actress/advocate Terri J. Vaughn (The Steve Harvey Show) and actress/author Bernadette Stanis (Good Times). The celebrities explained that early detection is the key to beating the disease, and lent their star quality and class to the event.

Net proceeds benefited Mammography Screening of Alameda, founded by Betty E. Reece. This non-profit organization provides free screenings to men and women with low or no income.
