According to a press release, Reese Witherspoon was attending the Sixth Annual Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Washington D.C. on Sunday, May 4th. Participants of the event have been “walking over the duration of the weekend to raise funds for the Avon Foundation, which awards local and regional breast cancer organizations.”

Reese Witherspoon, Avon Global Ambassador and Honorary Chair of the Avon Foundation, joined walkers at the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Washington, and the weekend-long event attracted 3,500 participants who raised $8.1 million.

I am very excited to be partnering with the Avon Foundation and to help them continue to affect real change, I feel a great responsibility in my own life to give back to society. As the Honorary Chairman of the Avon Foundation, one of my first experiences last year was to meet Avon Walk walkers at a training walk in Los Angeles.

Now I am proud to support the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer here in Washington, D.C. and hope my presence can in some measure express my deep appreciation for all the women and men who participate in the Avon Walks, and for all of the people who dedicate their lives to breast cancer research and care.
