Since 1992, Avon Canada’s Independent Representatives have voluntarily sold pink ribbon Crusade Products and donated $16 million to breast cancer research, making Avon the largest corporate contributor to breast cancer research in the country. Internationally, the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade has raised and awarded more than $585 million in 50 countries for awareness and education; screening and diagnosis; access to treatment; support services; and scientific research. As a corporate leader in the fight against breast cancer, Avon has made a commitment to continue to raise funds for this cause until a cure is found! All net proceeds raised by Avon Canada’s Breast Cancer Crusade are donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Alliance (CBCRA). The CBCRA is the primary funder of breast cancer research in Canada and makes a significant impact on the information we have about this complex disease. Since 1993, the CBCRA has allocated $178 million to support 530 breast cancer research grants. Forty-nine per cent of the scientific articles published by CBCRA grantees have been published in peer-reviewed journals that rank within the TOP 5 per cent worldwide. “The commitment of our CBCRA members, such as Avon, allows us to continue vital research to find ways to prevent breast cancer, improve survival and enhance the quality of life for those living with this disease.”
