Mission Statement
The Teal It Up Ovarian Cancer Foundation is committed to helping women navigate the challenges of ovarian cancer. The foundation is a 501 (c) 3, tax exempt organization established in 2013.
Here’s how we achieve our mission:
Provide comfort bags to newly diagnosed and recurring patients
Financial support of genetic counseling and testing within Arizona when medically indicated
Support transportation program for patients who need rides to and from treatment appointments
Deliver The Joy Bus meals to homebound cancer patients in treatment
Community outreach programs that raise awareness for ovarian cancer; visiting doctor’s offices, supermarkets, health fairs, seminars, etc.
Participating in survivors teaching students, a national program sponsored by Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance. Teal It Up is very supportive of STS, in the valley we go to University of AZ medical school and to local nursing schools to share our diagnosis, treatment and survivorship
Fundraising events such as golf tournaments, clay target shooting, pistol tournament shoots, and in 2018, a bowling tournament. Fundraising events provide community awareness of not only our foundation but more importantly the disease and its impact
Support research projects that impact women in treatment
