October is Breast Cancer Month

"THE POWER OF PINK"

"Support Breast Cancer"

In 2009, AFBCF awarded $6.0 million in grants to 143 community-based, non-profit organizations in the United States. All grant recipients were selected through a rigorous application and independent grant review process.

Since 2000, the Avon Foundation Breast Care Fund has distributed more than $42 million in grants to community-based agencies. These agencies have made a significant impact on the lives of thousands of women in need of breast cancer screening services. By the end of 2009, almost 1 million mammograms and CBEs will have been facilitated and more than 15 million people will have received education on breast cancer awareness as a result of support from the Fund.

I am a proud Avon Representative and I wanted to display on my personal blog the Support I have for the AVON foundation BREAST CANCER CRUSADE.

I have lost an Aunt (one of my Best Friend) to Breast Cancer and My Mother-in-law (Joan) survived breast cancer 16 years ago but passed away in 2001 from lung cancer. In honor of these two wonderful people and all the others that have gone and or going through this .. I will wear pink everyday this month. PLEASE JOIN IN ON THE POWER OF PINK.

You can also support Breast Cancer by purchasing Breast Cancer Crusade items from Avon - 100% of the net proceeds will be donated to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade.

Together Avon Reps, Customers and Friends can enlist an "army" for this incredible campaign. Please sign up today so researchers can walk toward a tomorrow without breast cancer.
