Outreach & Awareness Committee
The Outreach & Awareness Committee works to raise ovarian cancer awareness within the community. They also reach out to patients touched by this disease and provide education, supportive and collaborative opportunities. They work to plan events such as Turn Huntington Park Teal that allow survivors, caregivers, friends and families to network and meet one another, to share their stories with the public as well as each other. This networking also engenders volunteers for other awareness activities and engaging support (S.O.S.) for newly diagnosed women.
