Avon Breast Health Outreach Program Awards Grant to YWCA Boston for Breast Health Program
Boston – The Avon Breast Health Outreach Program has awarded a $45,000 one-year grant to YWCA Boston to educate women about lifestyle changes that may help to prevent cancer, and to increase awareness of the life-saving benefits of early detection of breast cancer. It is the thirteenth year that the program has received funding from the Avon Foundation for Women to support its work on this important health issue and in recognition of the program’s excellence.
In collaboration with numerous community partners, the YW Boston breast health program will educate Boston area women and refer them to low-cost or free mammograms and clinical breast exams in their own communities. The vital program will also use evidence-based initiatives to conduct outreach to underserved women, and provide reminders to women about routine screening appointments.
Since 1993, YW Boston’s breast health program has reached more than 37,000 women with information about the importance of early detection of breast cancer and has referred almost 6,700 women for mammograms and clinical breast exams.
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women in the United States, and is the leading single cause of death overall in women between the ages of 40 and 55. According to the American Cancer Society, 5,480 new cases of breast cancer will be detected in Massachusetts this year, and 800 lives will be lost. Nationwide, there is a new diagnosis every three minutes, and a death from breast cancer every 14 minutes. While advances have been made in prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure, early detection still affords the best opportunity for successful treatment. Programs such as YW Boston’s breast health program help ensure that all women have access to early detection information and options, even poor and medically underserved women.
“We work at three levels of engagement—with individual women, service providers, and major institutions—to ensure that women have access to breast health education and care regardless of their economic or cultural status, and to catalyze broader, systemic change that will have positive effects on the population at large,” says Sylvia Ferrell-Jones, YW Boston president and CEO. “We are deeply grateful for the Avon Foundation’s generous long-term support.”
Since 1993, the Avon Foundation has awarded more than 1,550 grants to community-based breast health programs across the United States, including the Breast Health Program at YW Boston. These programs are dedicated to educating underserved women about breast cancer and linking them to early detection screening services.
The Avon Foundation for Women and Breast Cancer Crusade
The Avon Foundation for Women, an accredited 501(c)(3) public charity, was founded in 1955 to improve the lives of women and today is the world’s largest corporate-affiliated philanthropy focused on issues that matter most to women. The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, which observes its 20th anniversary in 2012, has placed Avon at the forefront of the fight against breast cancer; today, Avon is the leading corporate supporter of the cause globally. In the 20 years since the Crusade’s launch, Avon breast cancer programs in 58 countries have donated more than $740 million for research and advancing access to care, regardless of a person’s ability to pay. Avon raises funds for the Crusade through the sale of Avon “Pink Ribbon” products, and through events and walks, such as the U.S. Avon Walk for Breast Cancer series, which is the Foundation’s largest fund-raising source.
The Avon Breast Health Outreach Program
The Avon Breast Health Outreach Program is administered by Cicatelli Associates Inc. to support community-based, non-profit breast health programs across the country. The Fund's National Advisory Board selected the Breast Health Program at YWCA Boston as one of 120 new grant recipients nationwide in the 2012 cycle of Avon Breast Health Outreach Program grants. These organizations were chosen based on their ability to effectively reach women, particularly minority, low-income, and older women, who are often medically underserved.

BOSTON- YWCA Boston announced today the appointment of Yolanda Coentro as Vice President for Programs. Serving on the senior management team, Coentro will oversee the successful implementation of the organization’s expanded program mix and strategic plan.
“We are not your mother’s YWCA,” says YW Boston President & CEO Sylvia Ferrell-Jones, “And Yolanda is not your everyday program leader. With a plan to systemically improve racial, gender and social disparities in public education, public health and public safety, we needed a seasoned executive, like Yolanda, with proven leadership in these areas. We are delighted to have someone of her caliber and commitment join our senior team.
”Coentro was most recently a program director with the Home for Little Wanderers where she oversaw its largest program area, more than 80 staff and a budget of $4.7 million. An LICSW, Coentro serves on the statewide health disparities council for children’s behavioral health, has overseen the development of program measurement and evaluation efforts, and has served as a consulting clinician to Carney Hospital and Boston Medical Center. She is a certified trainer in violence prevention and coalition building and is an alum of Boston University’s Non-Profit Management and Leadership Program for which she now serves as an advisor and mentor.
Previously, Coentro staffed Cutting EJ, a Somerville-based economic justice and anti-racism organization. She holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Boston College.
America’s first YWCA, YW Boston is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. In the next three years, YWCA Boston will incrementally and measurably reduce systemic racial and gender disparities and improve social cohesion in Boston neighborhoods where health, educational and safety inequities are most significant. In recent years, the organization acquired the Boston Center for Community and Justice’s well-regarded LeadBoston and Youth Leadership Initiative programs and youth and adult dialogues programs from City Wide Dialogues on Boston’s Ethnic and Racial Diversity. Those programs join the YW’s long-running, evidence-based women’s and girl’s health literacy programs.

BOSTON – YWCA Boston and the Boston Center for Community and Justice (BCCJ), two of Boston’s oldest and most recognized social justice organizations, announced plans today to continue BCCJ’s civic leadership programs through an exclusive licensing agreement.
Under the deal, LeadBoston – a premier executive leadership program focused on social responsibility for mid- and senior- level executives - and InIt – an intensive youth leadership and development program for high school students – are anticipated to continue permanently under YWCA Boston management.
BCCJ was established in 2005, emerging from the local branch of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, which began work in Boston in the 1920s. Recognizing the economic challenges nonprofits currently face, the BCCJ board of directors had been engaged in an ongoing effort to secure the sustainability of these acclaimed programs.
After reviewing proposals from several interested organizations, BCCJ chose to license its programs to its longtime collaborator, YWCA Boston. Founded in 1866 by key figures in America’s abolition and suffrage movements, YWCA Boston has been improving social conditions in the city for 145 years. Today, the organization boasts more than two dozen LeadBoston graduates among its staff, board members, volunteers and supporters, including YWCA Boston President and CEO Sylvia Ferrell-Jones, LeadBoston ’99.
“On behalf of YWCA Boston’s board, chair Kathryn Murphy and the entire YWCA Boston family, we are delighted to continue LeadBoston and InIt and provide critical social justice training to Boston’s current and future leaders,” said Ferrell-Jones. “More than ever, Boston needs visionaries across all sectors who understand the social issues facing our most marginalized neighbors, and who are willing and able to bridge the racial, gender and socio-economic divides that prevent all Bostonians from achieving the freedom, justice and dignity that they deserve.”
BCCJ Board Chair and City Year executive Maureen Alphonse-Charles (LB ’97) echoed Ferrell-Jones’ sentiments. “LeadBoston and InIt alumni are making enormous strides to create a better Boston. We are delighted that these programs will survive and prosper under the time-honored and tested leadership of YWCA Boston. In YWCA Boston, we recognize a shared commitment to social justice for all people, from all parts of our community.”
More than 60 Boston-area youth will participate in the 250-hour YWCA Boston InIt curriculum beginning this summer, and more than 50 adult leaders are anticipated to enroll in its 2012 LeadBoston program this coming winter.
Nearly 1,000 Boston executives are alumni of the LeadBoston program which will mark the graduation of its twentieth class on June 15. Among many notable LeadBoston alumni are former Boston City Councilor Felix Arroyo; senior advisor to Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick Ron Bell; Fidelity Investments Senior Vice President Sheila Cavanaugh; Greater Boston Food Bank CEO Catherine D’Amato; Bridgespan Boston office chief William Foster; Boston Architectural College President Ted Landsmark; Edwards Angell Palmer and Dodge partner Rebecca Lee; Liberty Mutual Vice President Melissa MacDonnell; Paradigm Properties CEO Kevin McCall; Caritas Carney Hospital President Bill Walczak; and Whittier Street Health Center president Frederica Williams.
This is YWCA Boston’s second acquisition of nationally-recognized social justice programs. In 2009, the organization absorbed and subsequently expanded the adult and youth interracial dialogues programs originated from City-Wide Dialogues on Boston’s Racial and Ethnic Diversity. More than 3,000 Bostonians have participated in these programs.
Additionally, more than 3,500 Bostonians annually receive services from YWCA Boston through its signature health education and affordable housing programs.

Boston, MA - The Avon Foundation Breast Care Fund has awarded a $50,000 grant to YWCA Boston’s breast cancer education, early detection and survivorship program, building on a long-standing partnership between the YWCA Boston and the Avon Foundation for Women.
The YWCA's women’s health and wellness program is a culturally sensitive program designed to connect high-risk participants with information, resources, and advocacy on issues that affect overall well-being. Numerous studies show that certain women are most at risk of late breast cancer diagnosis: women of color, new immigrants, women over forty, and women who are underinsured.
YWCA Boston works to remove the barriers—including financial, linguistic, and cultural—that many of these women face in taking control of their overall health. The program incorporates additional areas of women’s health, including cervical cancer, diabetes, HPV/STD’s, fitness, nutrition, HIV/AIDS, lupus, heart disease and more.
"YWCA Boston’s women’s health programs are unique because they are not limited to a particular neighborhood or ethnic group but ratherm are inclusive of, and sensitive to, a broad range of cultural and ethnic groups," said Sylvia Ferrell-Jones, YWCA Boston President &CEO. " We perform the crucial task of reaching traditionally underserved women through outreach and education, screening and referrals, clinical and social services, and support groups."
The YW program also distributes its multi-lingual “Health Disparity Buster” pamphlets with practical advice and resources to empower women to take control of their overall health.
Breast cancer is a threat to every woman. It is the second leading cause of cancer death for women and the leading cause of death for African American women and women ages 40-59. Although breast cancer cannot be prevented, if detected early, the five-year survival rate is 95%. Unfortunately, less than one-third of American women follow the three steps recommended for early detection: annual mammograms beginning at age 40; annual clinical breast exams; and monthly breast self-examinations.
Due to the Avon Foundation’s consistent funding, YWCA Boston has developed a premier breast cancer program in the City of Boston for women of color and new immigrants. Widely considered experts in the field, YWCA Boston staff is often asked to speak or present at conferences and panels, serve on committees and join collaborations.
“We work at a broad-based, grassroots level to ensure that our programs reach as many high-risk women as possible,” said Ferrell-Jones. “We are deeply grateful for The Avon Foundation’s generous long-time support.”
"YWCA is one of the original nationwide partners in the work of the Avon Foundation Breast Care Fund, and they are a critical community-based provider of vital services to medically underserved women," stated Carol Kurzig, President, Avon Foundation for Women.
The Avon Foundation for Women and Breast Cancer Crusade
The Avon Foundation for Women, an accredited 501(c)(3) public charity, was founded in 1955 to improve the lives of women and their families. Now past the half century milestone, the Foundation brings this mission to life through the Speak Out Against Domestic Violence program and the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, which raises funds and awareness to advance access to care and finding a cure for breast cancer, with a focus on the medically underserved. Since 1992 the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade has raised and awarded more than $640 million worldwide for medical research; access to care; support services; screening and diagnostics; and education and awareness. The largest fundraising program in the U.S. is the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer series.
