Bluegrass Ovarian Cancer Support, Inc.
Good Giving Challenge - Giving Tuesday 28 Nov 9am ET through Friday 1 Dec 11:59pm ET
Bluegrass Ovarian Cancer Support, Inc participated again this year as a registered charity. We raised over $1100. We are a small group of volunteers and all funds go back in our programs.
BOCS was invited to have a table. We handed out BOCS stickers, our new brochure, and ovarian cancer risk cards from Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance. A portion of proceeds from the show also benefit The Marla Thorogood Memorial Fund For Ovarian Cancer Research in conjunction with Vanderbilt University Medical Center, in memory of George’s late wife who passed away in 2019.
Thank you to Mr. Thorogood and the Opera House for the opportunity to spread awareness of ovarian and gynecologic cancer risk factors.
Next BOCS meeting: January 17th by Zoom.
Past meetings are listed on our Monthly Meetings page. We would like to highlight our most recent meeting on 18 October at 7pm via Zoom Our speaker was Dr. Taylor Ann Rives, discussing immunotherapy.
