Avon Breast Cancer Crusade

The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed form of cancer in the world, with one woman diagnosed every three minutes in the U.S. alone. It's a disease that touches the lives of millions every year, and to help combat it, we created The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade. For 20 years, we've supported women and men affected by breast cancer by funding programs that enable patients to access quality care. We've also awarded research grants to help prevent the disease and ultimately find a cure.

Since 1992, the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade has been working tirelessly to help prevent, treat, and ultimately eradicate this disease. With more than $740 million raised and donated to breast cancer programs around the world, Avon is the leading corporate supporter of the cause globally. The Crusade's life-saving work supports awareness and education, screening and diagnosis, access to care, support services, and scientific research.
Beneficiaries range from leading cancer research centers to local, nonprofit breast health programs, creating a powerful international network of research, medical, social service, and community-based breast cancer organizations.


2012 marks the 20-year milestone of the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade. In two decades, Avon philanthropy has raised and donated more than $740 million to breast cancer programs around the world, supporting cutting-edge research to find a cure for or prevent breast cancer as well as programs that enable all patients to access quality care.
