SUNY ONEONTA STUDENT WORKS TO INCREASE BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

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.
