Valiant Entertainment is joining with The Keep A Breast Foundation, the global youth-based breast cancer prevention organization. Their partnership will be dedicated to furthering the non-profit’s goals with new educational publishing, fundraising, convention outreach, and more.

The new face of the collaborative partnership will be Valiant’s superheroine Faith. She will make her debut as Keep A Breast’s official comics ambassador at New York Comic Con this October. Faith will appear in Keep A Breast promotional endeavors around the world through the rest of 2016 and beyond.

“The foundation of everything Keep A Breast does is art, and it absolutely thrills us to team up with people, like Valiant Comics, that are breaking the norm in their own industries,” said Keep A Breast Founder & CCO Shaney Jo Darden. “When we read Faith, we were so excited to see a hero that was so funny, real, and full of self-love. Art has the power to heal and impact people in the best way, and this partnership will further prove how art can put a spotlight on real issues and start important conversations that can save lives.”

“Creativity can be the catalyst for great change, and it is often said there is no medium more creative than comic books,” said Valiant COO & CFO Gavin Cuneo. “With Faith at the forefront of a wide variety of upcoming Keep A Breast programs, we look forward to aiding them in their vitally important and all-too-needed cause of combating breast cancer through art, education, and the creative spirit. As one of the most optimistic heroes in comics today, Faith is already an inspiration to many. Now, in her new role as an ambassador on Keep A Breast’s behalf, it is our sincere hope that her unbeatable spirit will inspire a new contingent of fans and enthusiasts to join their campaign against this tragically common condition.”

Valiant and Keep A Breast will have special fundraising endeavors during New York Comic Con. On October 6-9 Valiant’s Faith will appear on two limited edition collectibles specially produced to benefit Keep A Breast and will be available at their booth 1635 during the con.

Darden will also appear during the Valiant: Spotlight on Faith panel with Faith writer Jody Houser as well as Louise Simonson, Rafer Roberts, and Valiant CEO & CCO Dinesh Shamdasani. The panel will be held on Thursday at 6:45 PM in room 1A05.

“Keep A Breast is an incredible organization with a long and storied history of using music and the arts as a vehicle to educate and inform untapped and often underserved audiences about one of the true scourges of our age – breast cancer,” said Valiant’s President of Consumer Products, Promotions and Ad Sales Russell A. Brown. “Valiant is honored to assist in that mission as Keep A Breast now prepares to expand its efforts into the comics community, and Faith is the perfect ambassador to help them accomplish just that.”
