Globe joins Avon’s Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer

GLOBE Telecom is at one with Avon in its breast cancer awareness campaign as it recently joined Avon’s Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer (KGBC) Let’s Walk the Talk Tour.


Around 200 Globe employees and vendors took part in the walk and run event to raise funds for the Philippine Cancer Society.

As the leading corporate advocate of causes affecting women, Avon launched the multifaceted awareness and fundraising initiative dubbed Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer (KGBC). KGBC was launched in the Philippines in 2002 and fundraising efforts since then have allowed Avon to establish and maintain the Philippine General Hospital–Avon Breast Care Center and support selected provincial hospitals.

KGBC celebrated its 20th year with the Let’s Walk the Talk Tour raising awareness more actively and reach out to more women as we visit key cities nationwide to provide free breast examination and breast cancer education. This tour was culminated with our annual walk and run event with Globe Telecom joining this crusade as one of the event sponsors.
