How much support does the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer receive from the Avon company?
The Avon Walk series is produced and managed by the Avon Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charity that was founded in 1955. The Avon Foundation is fortunate to receive support of the Avon Products, Inc. corporation in all of our endeavors, including the Avon Walks.
