OVARIAN CANCER AWARENESS

On June 2, 2007, the sisters of Sigma Alpha Omega® voted to adopt Ovarian Cancer Awareness as our national philanthropy after the initiative was researched by then Vice President of the National Board of Trustees, Erin Watts Evans.  The sorority is currently mainly working with Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, but many of our chapters have other contacts. The purpose of OCNA is “to conquer ovarian cancer by uniting individuals and organizations in a national movement.” We are very excited about this opportunity and are looking forward to raising awareness and funds to support this organization in educating the public.

SEPTEMBER IS OVARIAN CANCER AWARENESS MONTH:

The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance has dedicated the whole month of September to ovarian cancer awareness. We encourage all chapters to take advantage of this opportunity to tell others about ovarian cancer.  Some ideas might be:

  • Wear teal ribbons, bracelets, or T-shirts throughout the whole month of September.

  • Pass out fact sheets to women on campus.

  • Decorate your campus walkways with teal-colored sidewalk chalk.

  • Host an awareness event, and invite a local cancer survivor as the guest speaker.

  • Hold fundraising events to raise money for OCNA. 

You can learn more about Ovarian Cancer Awareness at www.ovariancancer.org.
