NEW YORK, Nov. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Diane Keaton, Andie MacDowell, President of L'Oreal Paris Carol J. Hamilton and Harper's Bazaar Editor-in-Chief Glenda Bailey will co-host "A Night of Hope" to benefit The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF) on Wednesday, November 7th at Murano from 6:30 - 9:30 PM in Los Angeles, CA. They will be joined by other L'Oreal spokespeople including Eva Longoria, Kerry Washington, and Dayle Haddon.

The evening will include a cocktail reception and luxury silent auction, which will feature exceptional photography and fashions and accessories from designers including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Donna Karan, Bulgari and De Beers.

"A Night of Hope" is hosted by L'Oreal Paris and all proceeds raised at the event will be donated to OCRF's research programs. President of L'Oreal Paris, Carol J. Hamilton says, "This year marks the tenth anniversary of L'Oreal Paris' support of The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. I am proud of the fact that L'Oreal is the largest corporate fundraiser in this critical fight against ovarian cancer. Since 1997, we have helped to raise over $13 million to fund life-saving research and to promote awareness building programs to help empower women to make educated choices about their health and well-being."

Additionally, L'Oreal has created programs to promote ovarian cancer awareness, which include the first-ever public service announcements for ovarian cancer featuring L'Oreal spokespeople Andie MacDowell and Milla Jovovich. L'Oreal has also created the signature "Color of Hope" cosmetics and jewelry collections that raise funds for OCRF. This year L'Oreal has added a sterling silver pendant and earrings to the jewelry collection. All of the jewelry items are available for purchase online at http://www.lorealcolorofhope.com. A special diamond Color of Hope necklace has been created to commemorate this star-studded event.

"Awareness is a key element in winning the fight against ovarian cancer. There is currently no effective, easy to use method of early detection for ovarian cancer and as a result, many of the cases are diagnosed too late. In addition to raising much needed funds for research programs, L'Oreal has been extremely instrumental in spreading the message that every woman should have knowledge of this disease and its symptoms," explains Elizabeth Howard, CEO of OCRF.
