Does the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade support men with breast cancer?
The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade raises funds to support a network of programs that assist people (both men and women) in dealing with every aspect of breast cancer. Our particular focus is on the medically underserved, including low-income, elderly, minority or those without adequate health insurance, and reversing historical disparities in breast cancer care. Avon has implemented a sophisticated and comprehensive need-based philanthropic strategy that addresses five key areas of the disease: medical research, clinical care, support services, education and early detection. Recognizing the complexity of the problem of breast cancer among all groups of women, Avon is distinguishing itself from other corporate donors that fund a single institution or scientific investigator by supporting a virtual national network of research, medical, social service and community-based organizations, each of which is making a unique contribution to helping patients or advancing breast cancer research.
