Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer

Description

Ovations takes public education of ovarian cancer seriously. Their most successful effort is the Patient Awareness Program - the creation and distribution of Why Knowledge is Power brochures to more than 3,000 physicians' offices, hospitals and treatment clinics in more than 26 states. Ovations also participates in September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month by developing public service announcements for television and radio.

Most importantly, Ovations is committed to ongoing patient information and morale-boosting initiatives. Ovations provides patients with the latest information and research on ovarian cancer at the annual Learning for Living with Ovarian Cancer Symposium--a free conference open to cancer patients. Another notable initiative is the Butterfly Bangle - where Ovations provides an exclusive Bangle Bracelet to ovarian cancer patients undergoing treatment. This program alone has touched the lives of over 2,500 women and undoubtedly made their journey through treatment more comfortable.

As long as ovarian cancer takes a quiet approach, our research and awareness efforts must refuse to do the same. That is why your support is crucial--not just because our goals are great, but because the need for a cure is even greater. In so many ways, your commitment can translate into hope for the thousands upon thousands of women who will face ovarian cancer. By your acts of giving, we will save lives.
