Mission Statement

The mission of the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance is to provide support to women and to promote awareness and early detection of gynecologic cancer through advocacy and education.

Description

The Colorado Women's Cancer Alliance (CWCA - formerly known as the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance) reaches out to Coloradoans who have been diagnosed with gynecologic cancer in many ways:

• Provides support through our Nicki’s Circle Support Groups
• Offers individual counseling
• Helps survivors to navigate the insurance and financial issues related to their diagnosis (Carol's Wish Financial Navigation Program)
• Offers financial assistance to Colorado women in treatment for ovarian cancer through the COCACares program
• Educates the general population about gynecologic cancer symptoms and risk factors through speaking engagements and via its "September Awareness" campaign.
• COCA's annual "Jodi's Race for Awareness" is a 5K run / 1 mile walk event whose primary goal is to raise awareness of gynecologic cancer. The event, that began in 2010, is held the second Saturday of June each year.
