Title
2. Appearance by Lauren Heldreth of Turn the Towns Teal to Announce September as National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
Strategic Priority
Good Government
Description

Turn The Towns Teal® is a national campaign to promote awareness of ovarian cancer, its subtle symptoms and risk factors. During National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in September, our volunteers call attention to this disease by tying our USA-made ribbons in various locations like town centers, businesses, places of worship, neighborhoods and on their individual properties. There is NO conclusive early detection test for ovarian cancer which is why this awareness campaign is so very critical, however studies show a 90-95% survival rate if this disease is identified early.
