Our Mission
It was once believed that the signs and symptoms of gynecologic cancers were silent. We now understand—they whisper. Every five minutes, a woman is diagnosed with a gynecological cancer — cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal or vulvar.* Too many of these cancers remain overlooked, underfunded, and without reliable screening tools.
Our mission is to address the gap in women's healthcare by advancing education, awareness, and research in gynecological cancers — ensuring that fewer women are diagnosed too late and that every woman has access to better knowledge, better support, and early detection.
*Based on data compiled from the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Facts & Figures 2025 and SEER Cancer Statistics.
what we do
Through a $100,000 investment, we funded four groundbreaking research initiatives.
From uncovering immune evasion mechanisms to advancing early detection in high-risk women, these targeted grants spanning ovarian and endometrial cancer reflect our commitment to accelerating scientific discovery while ensuring every person affected by gynecological cancer receives more effective, inclusive care.
Our second annual Fall Luncheon is coming up on September 23rd at the Belle Haven Club. We're delighted to welcome back Dr. Ratner, joined by a leading hormone specialist, for an engaging and informative conversation.
Signs & symptoms
While these symptoms may be vague and easily overlooked, they are the body's early warning signs. Individually, they may not be alarming, but if they persist for more than seven days, it's important to talk to your doctor.
