The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, or BCRF, has named Ulta Beauty chief executive officer Kecia Steelman to its board.
“I’m honored to join the board of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, an organization whose mission is deeply personal to me and whose impact is felt by so many,” said Steelman, who was appointed to CEO at Ulta Beauty in January. “Ulta Beauty has proudly partnered with BCRF for over 16 years, contributing more than $61 million to advance lifesaving research. I’m excited to work together to continue championing this critical cause alongside an inspiring group of leaders.”
This appointment follows Ulta Beauty’s ongoing commitment to the organization. According to the BCRF, Ulta Beauty has been a corporate sponsor since 2009, contributing more than $61 million and more than a million hours of breast cancer research. Each October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Ulta Beauty provides in-store support through its donation program.
In addition to Steelman, BCRF also appointed Donna Acquavella, who cofounded the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Wendi Rose, a founding advisory board member and former co-chair of BCRF’s New York Symposium & Awards Luncheon, and Richard van den Broek, founder and managing partner of HSMR Advisors, to its board.
“We are honored to welcome Donna, Wendi, Kecia and Richard to our board of directors,” said BCRF president and CEO Donna McKay. “Each brings a powerful combination of leadership, expertise and personal passion to our mission. Their diverse backgrounds and unwavering dedication to ending breast cancer will help propel BCRF’s impact even further. Together, we are advancing science, saving lives and moving closer to a world without breast cancer.”
