YOUR DOLLARS AT WORK
All funds raised through the Teal Power Race and Walk advance the mission of the Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Greater Cincinnati and benefit those affected by ovarian cancer in our community.
Our Mission is very simple.
- Drive Awareness and Education of Ovarian Cancer and Its Symptoms to Promote Early Detection
- Support Survivors of Ovarian Cancer
- Fund Research Towards Early Detection, Survivability and Cure of Ovarian Cancer
We have no office, employees, or overhead. 97% of all expenditures go towards our mission. In the last 9 years we have donated $2,175,000 to some of the top institutions in the world for ovarian cancer research!
