Hi All,
In order to make the Home Page of Ovd a bit more succinct, I'm rolling all the monthly reminders into this section. So monthly you'll be able to see what is on the horizon to make note of, along with links to more information and registration where that is required in order to participate. Hope this works for everyone.

World Ovarian Cancer Day is quickly approaching. It’s a global day of recognition - a day to bring our voices to the forefront and demand attention. In the current Seeds of Hope, OCC CEO Tania Vrionis details the power of community, forward momentum, and how together we can reach even more people affected by ovarian cancer, others at high risk for this disease, and concerned citizens who know everyone deserves to live their best lives. Many local communities highlight this day.....yours may be one.
