I’ve gotten questions from lots of folks in the past day who have donated or are thinking about donating to support me in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.

Avon Walk for Breast CancerThey were all wondering whether the Avon Foundation for Women is affiliated with Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

The answer is no, according to a post from the Avon Foundation for Women on Facebook:

The Avon Foundation for Women is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and is not affiliated in any way with Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer event series is a project of the Avon Foundation and has no connection to any Susan G. Komen event. We invite you to learn more about our events and the breast cancer research and access to care programs we fund at www.avonwalk.org and www.avonfoundation.org

So there y’all go.

If you haven’t already pitched in to help fight breast cancer, I’d love if you’d support me in the Avon Walk For Breast Cancer with a donation of any amount. I’m trying to raise $25,000 towards our team goal of $80,000.

The money I raise will be managed and disbursed by the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade to help provide access to care for those that most need it, fund educational programs, and accelerate research into new treatments and potential cures.

Get more details on where the money goes from funds raised in the Avon Walks.

Also, we need affiliate marketers, as well as their friends and family, to join us out there on the walk or at our cheering station.
