“Breast cancer is one of the most common
cancers among women in the United States,” said Actress Rhee.
“I take part in activities that benefit and help raise

that impacts so many lives. We need more events like
this one, where we are celebrating the Oscars and
we’re connecting people to breast cancer awareness.”

Levi is a Beverly Hills philanthropist,
whose sister died of breast cancer. His lifelong mission
is to bring awareness to breast cancer in Hollywood
and nationally. Levi holds breast cancer
awareness events at least once a month and capitalizes
on high profile activities to bring attention to his goal.
“My mission is simple,” said David Harrison Levi.
“I want to see an end to cancer as I’m tired
of and saddened by the loss of so many beautiful
friends and family members. Early detection is the key
to saving lives.”
Although the jury is still out on the Oscars race, Rhee
expects to see a lot of surprises at the Academy Awards ceremony
this weekend. “There are quite of few surprises in this year’s
nominees for the 83rd Academy Awards,” said Rhee. “Like everyone
else, I have my favorites. And the Golden Globe winners gave us a
sneak peak of the stiff competition, too. My congratulations to
everyone nominated, because they’re all winners in my book.”
