In 2008, AVON Hungary celebrated the 10th anniversary of its Breast Cancer Crusade.
The AVON Walk for Life event was organized for the 6th time on September 13, 2008 in the beautifully located City Park in the heart of Budapest.

A record number, ca. 3500 people – women, men, children and 20 celebrities participated in the 4 km walk. They received pink balloons making the walking crowd really spectacular.

After the walk, popular concerts were held, and people could participate in medical screenings of different kinds.

During the event money was raised for the crusade through selling an exclusive pink blanket, created solely for this unique occasion. At the end of the day, AVON leaders announced that the company completed the donations collected during the event. A symbolic cheque was given to the Hungarian Cancer League for a tender for hospitals. The selected hospital is going to receive a mammography digitalizer equipment modernizing a screening center.
