Avon Walk for Breast Cancer is a fantastic organization! In their words, here is how the money YOU donate is spent:
"Funds raised are managed and distributed by the Avon Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) public charity. Grants are awarded to local, regional and national breast cancer organizations to support five areas of the breast cancer cause, including: awareness and education; screening and diagnosis; access to treatment; support services; and, scientific research. Support for the medically underserved is a key priority. Beneficiaries range from leading cancer centers to community-based non-profit breast health programs, creating a powerful international network of research, medical, social service and community-based organizations focused on defeating breast cancer and ensuring access to care."
So, as you can see, good things happen with the money raised!
