4 Fun And Rewarding Ways To Participate In Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual occurrence to increase awareness of the disease. Every year in October the community comes together to support and shed light on Breast Cancer through different fundraisers, sales, and activations.

Getting involved and showing your support has never been easier. Below are some ways for you to get involved:

Take part in AVON 39: The Walk to End Breast Cancer

The final, weekend-long event of AVON 39 campaign comprises a 39.3-mile long walk through New York. In its 15^th season, the occasion celebrates the philanthropic efforts of participants, who each raise $1,800 to advance breast cancer research, educate the public about the disease, and improve access to screenings and treatment.

Since their inception in 2003, the AVON 39 walks, which transpire in major cities around the country, have raised over $600 million, which fund local breast cancer causes and research organizations.

In 2016, the New York edition attracted more than 3,100 participants, including breast cancer survivors, who collectively raised $7.6 million.
