We seek research efforts where not more than 5% of the donation goes to administrative costs. Our research committee is comprised of some of the top local professionals focused on gynecologic cancers.

Organizations receiving funding include the Ovarian Cancer Research Center at The University of Pennsylvania, The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Indiana University, University of Pittsburgh, Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance and Wood Hudson Cancer Research Laboratory.
