Avon Walk for Breast Cancer New York

The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer is a series of weekend fundraising events in support of the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade. Since its founding in 1992, the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade has raised and awarded more than $500 million worldwide for access to care and finding a cure for breast cancer, with a focus on the medically underserved. Funding supports five key areas: awareness and education, screening and diagnosis, treatment, support services and scientific research. The 2013 Walks will take place in eight cities from April through October, with the New York event taking place October 19-20, 2013.
