With a Southern ambiance all its own, the Queen City's broad, tree-lined streets and majestic homes provide a beautiful scenic backdrop for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Participants will walk up to 26.2 miles on Saturday, and 13.1 miles on Sunday making a total of 39.3 miles over two days to fight breast cancer. Each participant must raise $1,800, although the average is $2,000. Funds are distributed locally by the Avon Foundation for education, research, diagnosis, treatment, and support.
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) (Triangle Park, NC) — $530,000
Duke University (Durham, NC) — $250,000
Medical University of South Carolina (Charleston, SC) — $250,000
Presbyterian Hospital (Charlotte, NC) — $150,000
