We all have our
own story. We all share the pain and desperation of being told that either
ourselves or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer.
We feel helpless, depressed, and angry… and yet, somewhere within ourselves a
small flame is ignited – that spark of hope that we can win this battle.
Together we can keep that fire burning if we just believe we will SURVIVE!

A crisp citrus blend creates a positive welcoming environment incorporated with very rare warming notes blended to both heighten your senses while at the same time provide a calming and soothing atmosphere.

In the U.S., ovarian cancer causes more deaths than all other gynecologic cancers combined. Its the 5th leading cause of cancer death in women.
22,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer this year. 15,500 women will die from the disease.
1 in 78 American women will develop ovarian cancer in their lifetime
Ovarian cancer research is under-funded. Ovarian cancer has a 45% five-year survival rate and receives $8.8 million in research from the Department of Defense (FY08); breast cancer has a five-year survival rate of 89% and receives $122.8 million (FY08).
Ovarian Cancer Research Fund is the largest private philanthropy in the United States dedicated exclusively to funding ovarian cancer research.
OCRF is leading the fight against ovarian cancer by funding cutting edge research with the goal of developing more effective identification, treatment, and ultimately a cure for ovarian cancer.
90% of every dollar that we raise goes to support our research grants program.
100 percent of the proceeds will be donated to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, to further cancer research.
The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund was founded in 1994 by Sol Schreiber in honor of his wife, Ann, a distinguished public administrator, who fought a courageous five-year battle with ovarian cancer.
This nonprofit is the largest private non-profit organization in the United States dedicated exclusively to funding ovarian cancer research. Our mission is to fund research to find a method of early detection and ultimately a cure for ovarian cancer. our investigators are developing innovative strategies for early detection; exploring the genetics that increase risk of ovarian cancer; researching the underlying molecular biology of the disease; identifying new and better targets for treatment; and analyzing how and why ovarian cancer spreads and how to stop it.
OCRF is far more nimble in its ability to recognize and fund the most novel approaches, which are more likely to lead to major, as opposed to incremental, advances in the fight against ovarian cancer. OCRF is able to solicit, review and fund worthy applications in a much shorter time frame, which not only leads to more rapid scientific progress, but also facilitates the professional growth of the most promising new investigators who might otherwise turn their attention to other, better funded diseases.
