Pull your friends together to beat breast cancer!
For every e-bear you send to your friends, Avon Canada will donate 10¢ to breast cancer research (up to maximum of $10,000).


Comments:  This was a valid promotion run by Avon Canada in 2004. Visitors to the Website were asked to "send an e-bear" by clicking a link, whereupon the company donated 10 cents toward breast cancer research. Having reached its goal of $10,000 in donations, the promotion is now over.
