WE WILL INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT GYNECOLOGIC CANCERS AND RAISE FUNDS TO SUPPORT EDUCATION, ADVOCACY, CARE AND RESEARCH.

DONATIONS FROM THIS FUND ARE CURRENTLY BEING USED LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY TO SUPPORT EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY FOR GYNECOLOGIC CANCERS; CARE OF WOMEN TO PREVENT, DETECT AND TREAT GYNECOLOGIC CANCERS; AND RESEARCH EFFORTS FOR GYNECOLOGIC CANCER CARE AND CURE.
