New Total for Bluegrass Gives 2025 -- $3,839.85!!!

We received a check for additional $50 recently after a recalculation of Bluegrass Gives matches and prizes.

Every dollar makes a big impact in our small organization. Just $10 supplies a gift bag to someone newly diagnosed in Lexington. Our monthly support group attendees come from further away. We thank you sincerely!

Annual Celebration Luncheon 2025 -

28 September we gathered with friends, family and caregivers, and community partners to celebrate survivors including those in treatment for ovarian or gynecologic cancer. We remembered those we lost during the year. At the luncheon, we recognized healthcare providers and others who support patients and survivors.

Camellia Hutchinson, nurse practitioner and survivor

Meet Cammy, our new vice president!

My name is Camellia Hutchinson, and I am honored to step into the role of Vice President of Bluegrass Ovarian Cancer Support.

I am a wife to my husband Jeremy, and a proud mom to our son Owen, who is my greatest motivation and inspiration.

I am a nurse practitioner and am grateful to have the opportunity to serve our veterans at our local VA hospital, where I work in the neurology department. Caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am, both professionally and personally.

In July 2023, I was diagnosed with stage 3C ovarian cancer. Becoming a survivor has profoundly shaped my perspective and strengthened my passion for advocacy, connection and support within the ovarian cancer community.

I look forward to serving our BOCS in this new role and am excited for the year ahead as we continue to support, uplift, empower and support one another.
