for the relay one year because we didn't buy through them. They were locally made with our business sponsor's logo on the back and a pink ribbon on the front. Made everyone change because it was 'trademark infringement'.

This wasn't a promotion I saw - it was a display in a store with pins, pocketbooks, travel mugs, etc, etc.. All branded "Avon".
