In 1992, Avon Foundation for Women created the Breast Cancer Crusade in order to help prevent, treat & hopefully one day eliminate Breast Cancer. The Breast Cancer Crusade partners with programs & organizations not only in the United States, but all across the world. “The Crusade supports awareness and education, screening and diagnosis, access to care, support services and scientific research.” (Avon Foundation for Women, 2017)

One way, that Avon Foundation for Women Breast Cancer Crusade raises money each year, is by going across the United States in 7 different cities hosting Avon 39 Walk. The Avon 39 is all about uniting men & women who want to make a difference in their community with one goal in mind- End Breast Cancer Forever!

Can I Work or Volunteer at my Local Avon 39 Event Instead?

Yes! You can register as a Crew Member or Volunteer to help out with various tasks leading up to the event or during the event weekend.

Crew Members

Crew Members of Avon 39 events must be 18 years or older by Check In Friday, register as a participant & pay for the $50 registration fee. As a Crew member, you commit to participating an assigned role for the whole weekend, include camping at Basecamp39.

Crew Members are required to attend at least 1 Crew Walk Talk & Training meeting (there are 10 dates and times scheduled prior to the event) and attend the Crew Training Day 4-6 weeks prior to the event.
