Our Partner

Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer

GNOCA partners with Ovations for the Cure, an award-winning Massachusetts-based nonprofit 501(c)3 dedicated to the pursuit of a cure for ovarian cancer. Our shared missions include raising awareness, patient programs & supporting ovarian cancer research.

More than 20,800 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year. More than 240,000 women are currently living with the disease. Ovations for the Cure provides educational programs to increase awareness of the subtle symptoms of ovarian cancer to help promote earlier detection and improved disease outcomes. Additionally, Ovations funds research aimed at bringing us closer to an early detection test and hopefully someday a cure for ovarian cancer.

To help women currently diagnosed with ovarian cancer, Ovations provides patient support programs such as the Helping Hands Meal Delivery Program. They also present a yearly ‘Learning for Living with Ovarian Cancer’ Symposium where medical experts in the field of gynecological oncology update ovarian cancer patients on the latest research, treatments and therapies.

With your help, we hope to make a difference and improve outcomes through early detection for women diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
