Each year during Ovarian [and Gynecologic] Cancer Awareness Month, Bluegrass Ovarian Cancer Support, Inc. holds a luncheon to celebrate survivors and those in treatment.  

2025 Luncheon - SAVE THE DATE!

We will be celebrating survivors [that means folks in treatment too!] on September 28th at Origin Hotel, The Summit, Lexington.  Checkin will be 12:30.  Survivors will be treated to lunch and receive a large goody bag.  Awards and recognitions will be given as well.  Please look for the registration announcement in August.  Join our mailing list.  Contact roselewis342@gmail.com
