Mission Statement

The mission of the Colorado Gynecologic Cancer Alliance is to provide support to survivors and to promote awareness and early detection of gynecologic cancer through advocacy and education. We provide both emotional and financial support to those with a Gyn cancer diagnosis.

Description

The Colorado Gynecologic Cancer Alliance (CGCA - formerly known as the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance) reaches out to Coloradans 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 survivors 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.
  • CGCA'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.

This organization is very impactful, making a difference in women's lives and lives of families that have been impacted by Ovarian Cancer. The folks who set this event up, specifically Jeanene, are genuine and radiate energy and hope. I was a photographer for their Pedal with Polumbus event and it honestly felt like a family reunion, with everyone having fun and chatting/laughing with each other, while also making a difference. I'd recommend the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance to anyone looking to donate their time or money!
