History of Avon Avon was founded in 1886 by a then 28 year old man name David H. McConnell. Mr. McConnell was a book publisher that was trying to make a living going door to door selling books. However, women kept slamming the door in his face. Mr. McConnell decided that he had to find a way to get these women's attention. So he started making his own perfumes in his garage. He used these perfumes as samples to give to the women and in return they would let him present his book. He quickly learned that the women LOVED the perfume but still had no interest in the books. This is how Avon got its start.

Avon Supports Women's Charities Avon is the largest corporate supporter of the breast cancer cause. The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade has raised and donated nearly a half-billion dollars worldwide since 1992. Avon also has a “Speak Out Against Domestic Violence” Campaign. Hundreds of domestic violence agencies have received grants from Avon.
