About the WIN ABC Logo on Winning Spirit^TM Awards for Our Honorees

A very special woman named Joy Burton developed WIN Against Breast Cancer's logo. Joy was a Breast Buddy peer support volunteer and lost a valiant fight against breast cancer in February 1999 shortly after celebrating her 41st birthday. Her mother also died of breast cancer. Joy was a very gifted artist and dear friend of the WIN organization. We miss her deeply and continued to be inspired by her strength of spirit and grace under fire as she battled a virulent recurrence. 

We chose the symbol of the butterfly because although the life span of butterflies may be short, butterflies are a beautiful symbol of transformation, renewal and beauty; the embodiment of survivorship.
