October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Being an Independent Sales Representative for AVON, I see a TON of Breast Cancer Awareness items. I'm going to be showcasing a few of them around on my website, as well as on my AVON site once (http://avon.ninja-kitten.com) I get it opened up (where I'll be reviewing different avon products. :) )

I want you guys to take a look at this, and please remember to check your boobies at LEAST once a month or every other month. We have to take care of our selves, ladies!

How much money actually goes to the cause?
Total Avon Foundation revenue in 2006 was $69.9 million. Expenditures, including grants for breast cancer, domestic violence and other programs, exceeded $73.7 million. Of total expenditures for the year:

• 79.5% was directed to mission programs and services, including grants, gifts and awards to beneficiary organizations (this is what is commonly referred to as “net return” to the cause)
• 3% covered management and general activities
• 17.5% covered fundraising expenses

These results exceed philanthropic fundraising guidelines.

This makes me incredibly proud to be an AVON rep during this time period. I am personally buying this beautiful bracelet and probably a few other things.
