Avon continues to be one of the most generous and charitable Direct Sales companies in the industry.
From Gazette Chicago:
Mercy Hospital & Medical Center has received a $260,000 grant award from the Avon Foundation as one of the recipients that were announced at the June 7 closing ceremonies of the seventh annual Chicago Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.
Each year, the Avon Foundation awards grants to local institutions that impact and support access to breast cancer screening, treatment, and research. Mercy Hospital & Medical Center will use the money to support services at the Mercy Comprehensive Breast & Women’s Healthcare Center, including the purchase of a digital stereotactic biopsy table that will complement the state-of-the-art digital breast center at Mercy.
“Mercy has been privileged to be the recipient of the generosity of the Avon Foundation for the past three years,” said Sr. Sheila Lyne, president and CEO of Mercy Hospital & Medical Center. “It is through this grant and others that Mercy is able to offer quality breast cancer screening and treatment to all women regardless of circumstances, which is the core of our Mercy Mission.”
