New Avon LLC (aka, Avon) and the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade today announced the kick off of AVON 39 The Walk to End Breast Cancer.
Now in its 15th year, the 2017 season begins this weekend in Houston, followed by Washington, D.C. (May 6-7), Chicago (June 3-4), Boston (June 24-25), San Francisco (July 8-9), Santa Barbara (September 9-10) and New York (October 14-15).
United by the theme #FierceIsForever, the two-day, 39.3 mile walks celebrate the strength and philanthropic commitment of participants who raise a minimum of $1,800 to accelerate breast cancer research; improve access to screening, diagnosis and treatment; and educate people about breast cancer.
Scott White, Chief Executive Officer, New Avon LLC, says, "The AVON 39 experience is such a point of pride for our thousands of Representatives and employees – many who will walk, donate or cheer to take us one step closer to ending breast cancer once and for all."
Kevin Honeycutt, President and CEO of the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, adds, "Over the last 15 years, the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade has allocated the funds raised by AVON 39ers to organizations that help women and men, regardless of their ability to pay, get the breast cancer care they need. Funds from the Walks have greatly improved the daily lives of breast cancer patients across the country, especially those in high-risk, underserved populations, and we look forward to furthering this impact in 2017, with the ultimate goal of taking down breast cancer once and for all."
