ONEONTA, N.Y. -- As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Kaitlyn
Olmstead, a senior at the SUNY College at Oneonta, is encouraging women of
all ages to acquaint themselves with the Love/Avon Army of Women Foundation
at
www.armyofwomen.org/avonfoundation. Kaitlyn undertook the cause because
members of her family and friends have had breast cancer.
The Avon Foundation, an accredited 501(c)(3) public charity, was founded
in 1955 to improve the lives of women and their families through a focus on
breast cancer and domestic violence. The Love/Avon Army of Women is driven
by two key partnerships to accelerate research and prevent breast cancer:
the partnership between Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation and the Avon
Foundation, and the partnership between scientists and women.
The foundation is looking for women of all ages and races to join their
army to aid researchers in finding a cure for breast cancer. Women who join
by registering their names and e-mail addresses will receive information
about new research and what they can do to help.
