Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign

Estée Lauder founded her company in 1946 armed with four products and an unshakeable belief: that every woman can be beautiful. Today, more than 60 years later, that simple notion has literally changed the face of the beauty business.

BEGINNINGS
Born Josephine Esther Mentzer, Estée Lauder was raised in Corona, Queens, by her Hungarian mother, Rose, and Czech father, Max. The name Estée was a variation on her family nickname, Esty. Always interested in beauty, she was mentored by her uncle, chemist John Schotz, and began her business by selling skin care products to beauty salons and hotels

THE POWER OF TOUCH
Perhaps Mrs. Lauder's most important legacy was her belief that in order to make a sale, you must touch the customer. She spent a great deal of time advising customers and teaching Beauty Advisors. "I didn't get there by wishing for it or hoping for it, but by working for it," she often reminded her sales force.

A GREAT LEADER
Mrs. Lauder's leadership inspired thousands of people. She received scores of honours, including the United States' Presidential Medal of Freedom and France's Legion of Honour. However, Mrs. Lauder was happiest advising women during her in-store appearances. One of her favourite quotes was "Telephone, Telegraph, Tell-A-Woman," because she knew that once a woman tried an Estée Lauder product, she would love it and share it with her friends

APPROACHABLE BEAUTY
When the company began to advertise, Mrs. Lauder insisted that its images portray beauty that was both aspirational and approachable. In 1962, Estée Lauder began the practice of selecting one model to be the "face" of the brand. Over the years, supermodels Karen Graham, Willow Bay, Paulina Porizkova, Liya Kebede—and now Elizabeth Hurley, Carolyn Murphy, Hillary Rhoda and Gwyneth Paltrow—have represented Estée Lauder.

ELEGANT STYLE
Mrs. Lauder was also deeply involved with her product's package design. Among her many contributions was the choice of Estée Lauder's signature blue, which she believed would coordinate with the décor of most bathrooms and bedrooms.

About The Trust

The Prince's Trust is a youth charity that helps change young lives.

We give practical and financial support, developing key workplace skills such as confidence and motivation. We work with 14 to 30-year-olds who have struggled at school, have been in care, are long-term unemployed or have been in trouble with the law.

We have helped more than 600,000 young people since 1976 and support 100 more each working day. More than three in four young people we helped last year moved into work, education or training.

Around one in five young people in the UK are not in work, education or training. Youth unemployment costs the UK economy £10 million a day in lost productivity, while youth crime costs £1 billion every year.

Who we help

The Prince's Trust helps change young lives.

We have four key target groups:

Unemployed young people

A wealth of research indicates that lower educational attainment and lack of formal qualifications make it much more difficult to secure full-time employment.

To help those with few or no qualifications to build skills, confidence and find employment, we provide personal development opportunities.

To assist young people trying to move into a job, training or education - but lacking the money to do so - we give Development Awards

Young people underachieving in education

5.4% of 15 year olds in England leave school with no qualifications and nearly 25% have fewer than five GCSEs.

To combat school-related challenges such as truancy, exclusions and poor performance, we run xl clubs within 300 schools across the UK.

Young people leaving care

Approximately 8,000 young people leave care more vulnerable than most. They are more likely to have no qualifications or low basic skills, or be unemployed or homeless.

Young offenders and ex-offenders

According to a Home Office survey, 3.95% of the 16-25 population have offended.

The Prince's Trust does not run programmes exclusively for young offenders and ex-offenders, but we recognise the strength of our programmes to help them break the offending cycle and fulfil their aspirations.

Mission Statement

To act as a model institution to alleviate the suffering of patients with cancer through the application of modern methods of curative and palliative therapy irrespective of their ability to pay, the education of health care professionals and the public and perform research into the causes and treatment of cancer.
