Even before October was designated the “official month,” the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure began to fight against breast cancer in October of 1983. Avon joined the fight in 2003 when it held its first Walk for Breast Cancer.
Now the question is…how will you contribute to the fight? Whether you prefer a walk, a marathon, a luncheon or even a scavenger hunt, several events will take place in New York City during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Check out our list:
