WHO WE ARE

Simply put, our mission is to wage war on ovarian cancer.

We fight this war for ourselves, our daughters, our sisters, our mothers, our wives, and our friends. We fight for those vibrant, loving, wonderful women who have lost their personal battles with the thief of dreams, lives, and futures, We fight every day.

In our war, we are attacking this killer on several fronts. Our weapons are the dollars we raise to support research and education. We seek to fund promising research projects in universities and hospitals throughout the country focusing our early detection methods and treatment of ovarian cancer. We also educate women, their families, and the general public about the symptoms of the disease to encourage women to seek medical assistance early. Early detection overwhelming increases a women's chances of defeating this foe.

This enemy is silent and deadly. It kills without remorse. Thousands of women are victims each year. On its current course, one in fifty women will be forced to fight this war for her own life. Join us in arming your daughter, your mother, your wife, your friend or yourself for this fight.
