The stars came out big for An Unforgettable Evening hosted by EIF’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund to raise money and awareness for early detection and research.

Christina Applegate who herself is a breast cancer survivor was honoured with the Nat King Cole award and told ET:

“That’s the reason that this happened to me, so that I can be outspoken and forthright about everything…I feel like I have a responsibility to all the women out there, to not let them live in fear…Fear perpetuates disease”

Country couple Faith Hill and Tim McGraw also attended and Tim, who lost both parents to cancer, talked about what the evening meant to him:

“I grew up with my mom and two sisters and now I have a house full of women, my wife and my three daughters, so anything that advances the research for cancer and advances the chances of finding cures, I’m all for”
