MA Chapter of National Ovarian Cancer Coalition

Raise money for MA Chapter of National Ovarian Cancer Coalition

Through NOCC's programs and local Chapter initiatives, staff and volunteers work hard to raise awareness, promote education, and fund research.

 

The mission of the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition is to save lives through the prevention and cure of ovarian cancer and to improve the quality of life for survivors and their caregivers. Nearly 22,000 females are diagnosed in the US with ovarian cancer each year and over 225,000 females are living with an ovarian cancer diagnosis in the US alone. Unfortunately, most cases are diagnosed in the later stages when the prognosis is poor, and close to 14,000 females die annually. However, if diagnosed and treated early, when the cancer is confined to the ovary, the five-year survival rate is over 90 percent. This is why it is imperative to support the NOCC to fund research, awareness, education, and quality of life programming. 

Since 2013, NOCC Team Teal has partnered with iconic athletic events across the country to raise awareness, increase education, and raise funds to support NOCC programs, services, and research. In 2021, close to 100 athletes across the country raised over $300,000 to support the NOCC mission. By participating as a member of NOCC Team Teal or donating to the team, you are truly making a difference with your miles to help improve the lives of families affected by ovarian cancer. NOCC is proud to be an official charity partner of the Asics Falmouth Road Race! To learn more about #NOCCTeamTeal go to  Learn More Here!

In this year of great challenges, one even greater challenge remains, saving more lives from ovarian cancer. Funds raised for the NOCC support national programs and local market initiatives which include: increasing awareness of the subtle signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer, assisting newly-diagnosed survivors and those in recurrence throughout the country through food security programs, financial assistance, and mental health counseling, providing ongoing support to caregivers, and advocating for the advancement of ovarian cancer research.
