Corporate Sponsorships
Our corporate sponsors are critical in helping to make our annual events possible. Our event and program sponsorships offer a wide range of benefits across multiple platforms for participating companies. We have a creative and experienced strategic partnership team in place to create and build targeted, relevant and successful sponsorships and we are interested in developing new corporate sponsor relationships. Please contact JoAnne Fairchild at joanne.fairchild@avonfoundation.org. She would love to hear from you.
Our primary sponsorship opportunities are through the following events and programs:
Avon Walk for Breast Cancer:
The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer is a series of nine, weekend-long walk events held in major cities across the U.S. where thousands of people come together unified in the goal to raise awareness and vital funds to ensure that all women and men get the screening, support and treatment they need, and to accelerate the work of leading research teams in their quest for better treatment, improved detection and a cure. More than 500,000 donors contribute to Avon Walkers annually. Since its launch in 2003 the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer has raised more than $422 million though the dedication of over 163,000 walk participants and volunteers.
Annual Breast Cancer Forums and Conferences:
Each year the Avon Foundation for Women brings together breast cancer experts, community health educators, nurse navigators, physicians and scientists from around the United States to discuss the latest in breast cancer research, early detection and prevention strategies, as well as to discuss the latest clinical data and to examine programs that link breast cancer prevention, screening and treatment for underserved and minority populations. These groups of breast cancer experts represent major cancer centers, academic medical centers and universities, public hospitals and community organizations.
An important goal of the annual Avon Breast Cancer Conferences is to provide the most recent breast cancer information that organizations can take home and use to improve their patients' lives.
Annual Awards Gala:
This special evening brings together over 800 guests, including leaders from the fields of health and science, beauty and fashion, media and community service to celebrate Avon's philanthropic efforts and partners, while serving as a significant fund raiser to eradicate breast cancer and reduce violence against women.
The Avon Foundation was launched in 1955 with a single scholarship of $400 and through 2011, Avon philanthropic programs have raised and awarded more than $860 million to support our signature programs worldwide. Since 2001 the Annual Awards celebration has raised more than $22 million.
The 2011 event was held at The New York Marriott Marquis on November 2nd and raised $2.3 million. Click here to learn more
