AXA Teams Up with Bright Pink to Support Women

New initiative encourages women to take small manageable steps toward
achieving physical and financial health

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AXA–AXA, a leader in providing financial security and retirement products,
announced today that it will be partnering with Bright
Pink, a national non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention
and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer.

AXA and Bright Pink will be partnering to host joint seminars in the
upcoming months. In the Brighten Up® Educational Workshop, a certified
Bright Pink Education Ambassador will teach prevention and early
detection techniques for breast and ovarian cancer.

“We are so proud to be teaming up with AXA to teach women around the
country to be proactive with their breast and ovarian health,” said
Lindsay Avner, Founder and CEO of Bright Pink. “AXA’s commitment to the
health and wellness of their customers is admirable and, together, our
impact will be life-saving.”

Women hold a large share of buying power in the U.S. economy. They are
increasing an already dominant position in the entrepreneurial space and
making more money than ever before. To support its female customer and
employee base, AXA is helping to ensure that it is meeting the needs of
women in ways that include financial product design, messaging,
marketing, our financial professional field force, employee recruitment,
benefits, and philanthropy.

“With AXA’s recent focus on the financial security of women, I think it
is extremely fitting that we mirror that emphasis on the philanthropic
side,” said Faith Frank, President of the AXA Foundation at AXA US.
“Bright Pink is a wonderful organization that works to mitigate risks
just as AXA does on the financial side. It is exciting that we will be
combining our expertise on this front in a way that will help provide
women with education and security.”

AXA aims to help customers take steps toward a more protected financial
future, whether through life insurance or retirement saving. Bright Pink
may be concerned with different issues (breast and ovarian cancer) but
they echo AXA’s concern with risk management and the goal of preparation
and education. Women have unique financial needs and AXA wants to
connect with them to ensure that they understand their financial options
and take an active role in the decision-making process.
