The Greater Newburyport Ovarian Cancer Awareness...

is a group of volunteers planning a series of events now through September, which is National Ovarian Cancer Month. Our goal is to increase awareness and to help fund cancer research and patient services for women with ovarian cancer in our communities. Proceeds from events will go to Ovations for the Cure, a Mass. non-profit 501(c)(3), dedicated to our mission. Over the past 12 years, we have raised over $400,000! Each year 21,000 American women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer, but together we can put an end to this insidious disease. Join us!
