Help us raise money

The Sue DiNapoli Ovarian Cancer Society (SDOCS) began its crusade following the death of Sue DiNapoli, a longtime Colorado Springs resident who lost her five year battle with ovarian cancer in 2005.  Motivated by the memory of their mother and the need to help other women and their families, SDOCS has grown into Southern Colorado’s strongest advocate and support network for women battling this heinous disease. Their mission is to support low income and under-insured women in Southern Colorado through the Sue’s Gift Financial Assistance Program and to educate the community about ovarian cancer symptoms and risk factors. ​ As Sue bravely battled this disease, she often worried as much for other women’s financial well-being as for her own health. “Making seriously ill women choose between paying for their cancer treatment and paying for their house payment seems unusually cruel,” she once commented.
