OVARIAN CANCER NATIONAL ALLIANCE
I did the Washinton circles with these people and they are really good at getting the word out. They got us funded again this year with a lot of hard work and pressure on the political arm. Great job, guys. Keep on keeping on.

This is an amazing organization that truly touches the lives of so many women. What I love most about this organization is the dedication of the staff and board members. They do work around the clock are are fully committed to the cause. All of the events I have attended have been incredibly well run and carry a spirit of hope and great optimism.

For ovarian cancer survivors OCNA is a godsend - advocating for us in Washington, D.C., gathering us together for an inspiring, informative, and encouraging annual conference, and helping its partner members to educate women and advocate for better awareness of ovarian cancer and its symptoms. OCNA is an excellent example of a nonprofit - great organization, great results, and great people!!

The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance is a fantastic organization with strong and passionate advocates who support those who are touched by,as well as spread awareness of, this terrible disease - ovarian cancer. I feel truly honored to work with them every year during the annual Conference, and every year I am more impressed by their dedication.

I continue to volunteer at OCNA events in Washington DC as well as help the OCNA's Government Affairs team by passing on Congressional intelligence to help them as they follow issues in Congress which will benefit Ovarian cancer survivors and fight this awful disease. Having my wife and brother-in-law lose their mother over 10 years ago to Ovarian cancer and this has ignited a fire in me to help such a great organization doing such great things (the OCNA) anyway I can.

I'm a survivor of ovarian cancer and, after evaluating other cancer charities and serving on other boards, decided this group will make a difference. OCNA has earned respect on Capitol Hill, among scientists and survivors. Excellent leadership and very beneficial programs.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the spirit of survivorship. As an ovarian cancer survivor, I need hope. OCNA gives us that.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
passionate about saving women's lives.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
help thousands of women, educate millions who are at risk, elevate the priority of treating and diagnosing ovarian cancer.
Ways to make it better...
more people supported the cause and participated in the movement to conquer ovarian cancer.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
financial. It's hard to get donations in the current economy. The group functions largely on volunteerism and keeping the programs running is costly.
One thing I'd also say is that...
ovarian cancer claims most of the women affected by the disease w/in 5 yrs. That's why we don't have a large survivor community to raise funds and awareness. We need help from the general public.

The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance has united individuals, groups and healthcare professionals in the fight against ovarian cancer. They are working on behalf of patients and families to ensure our voices are heard in Washington and government funding for ovarian cancer is maintained and increased. The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance is the "go to" resource for ovarian cancer and I am proud to be a part of it!
