Avon Walk For Breast Cancer

YAY… AVON WALK FOR BREAST CANCER!!! I cannot wait for this great charitable event. This year I am spreading the love from Chicago and am taking my one man cheering squad aka my dear husband Drew… to Boston… to walk the walk and fight the fight…

The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer only takes place in Boston once a year, but the folks in this office work year round. I’ve been involved with the Avon Walk since 2005 in both NYC and Boston. I’ve been fortunate to watch thousands of people participate in fundraising, training and walking to help bring attention to a disease that touches so many people’s lives.
The staff of this office work tirelessly throughout the year to make sure that walkers, volunteers and crew members have a memorable experience during not only the walk weekend, but during the preparation leading up to the walk.
I’m honored to be a part of this group year after year and I encourage you to check them out to find out all the great work that these peeps do!

I first got involved with Avon in late ’06 when I decided to do their 40 mile walk in Long Beach. I had the most fantastic experience. You can search through my reviews to see that review. ;)
But this is about the office.
The Avon people work so hard to make sure everything runs smoothly at the walk. As an office volunteer, you’ll help with some stuff like organizing, some administrative work, decorating things for the walk, etc. Sounds like small work, but in doing some of these tasks it helps the office focus on some of the bigger aspects of walk. Everyone I’ve met has been incredibly friendly and I actually ended up volunteering at a few places with one of the people I met there. If you’re really gung ho about volunteering, you should consider walking or crewing one of their 40 mile walks. :)
On top of all that, their office is located a minute form public transportation (Central Square). Super convenient and a great cause!
