Community Awareness and Education Programs
Comfort Bags
We provide comfort bags for all newly diagnosed women with gynecologic cancers. Comfort bags include snacks, slippers, scarfs, caps, encouragement letters, hand cream, journal, and really anything that we feel will make your treatment easier.
If you are a patient and need a comfort bag, please call: 602-478-8511
Transportation Program
Teal It Up partners with American Cancer Society to offer funding for their transportation program. We learned that over forty percent of their rides are for breast and ovarian patients. We felt an obligation to help with this essential need some people struggle with.
Please call American Cancer Society for more details at 1-800-227-2345. It can take several business days to coordinate your ride, so please call well in advance of your appointment.
Meals Delivery
In January 2020, Teal It Up began supporting The Joy Bus’ mission of delivering meals to homebound cancer patients. The Joy Bus is a 100% nonprofit restaurant. Owner (and Teal It Up board member) Jennifer Caraway and her team of volunteers deliver more than nutritious and fresh, home-cooked meals … they also provide conversation, encouragement and a smile for cancer patients undergoing treatment. As The Joy Bus grows in their scope of service, so will their ability to serve more patients.
Here’s a look at their wonderful service to the Phoenix community: VIDEO
Survivors Teaching Students®
Survivors Teaching Students® brings ovarian cancer survivors and caregivers into medical education programs to educate future healthcare providers about ovarian cancer by sharing stories of diagnosis, treatment and survivorship, along with facts about the disease. Medical/healthcare students interact with and learn from ovarian cancer survivors in a classroom setting.
Information tables at conferences, retreats and medical facilities
Recently seen at the Women’s Expo, Teal It Up Ovarian Cancer Foundation makes frequent appearances throughout the valley where they can provide information, educational material and personal support.
