(NAPSA)—Every three minutes there is a new diagnosis of breast cancer—and every 14 minutes, a life is lost. Through fundraising “pink ribbon” products, people can observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month and help changethese statistics. During October, Avon, the leading corporate supporter of the breast cancer cause, and mark, the new beauty brand from Avon, offer a trio of fundraising products—a beautiful ornament, a Celebrity Nailwear collection and a “Kiss Kit” product duo. Each is perfect to give or receive, with proceeds awarded by the Avon Foundation for access to care and finding a breast cancer cure, including funding for medical research, clinical care, support services, screening and diagnostics and education. The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade Ornament is a meaningful keepsake—an elegant heartshaped, golden blown glass orna- ment with the breast cancer pink ribbon in rhinestones. The ornament hangs from a sheer pink ribbon for seasonal or year-round display. It is available through the holiday season for $7.50, with 82 percent donated to the breast cancer cause. Or support the cause from lips to fingertips with two great beauty options: The limited edition Avon Crusade Celebrity Nailwear collection is available during October for just $3 each (80 percent is do- nated to the cause). Flash your beauty sense and help fight breast cancer with six celebrities and their favorite shade: Salma Hayek, international film star and new face of Avon, created Salma’s Hope (sheer French pink). Sharon Stone, Golden Globe- winning actress, created Sharon’s Heart (deep red). Choose one or more of these delightful gifts, and your dollars will help give the priceless gift of life. Leah Remini, lead actress in the televisions series “King of Queens,” created Leah’s Courage (pale peachy pink). Cybill Shepherd, television star, created Cybill’s Strength (clear). Ali Landry, Miss USA 1996 and television star, created Ali’s Faith (cotton candy pink). Tracee Ellis Ross, star of television’s “Girlfriends,” created Tra- cee’s Passion (shimmery brownish plum).
