As a survivor I have had a great deal of interaction with OCNA over the last 15 years and can only say that it is by far one of the most outstanding nonprofits I have encountered. A wealth of information about the disease, resources for the patient and family, concern and assistance with the challenges many of us face not only physically and financially but also emotionally. OCNA is passionate about awareness of ovarian cancer for all women, physicians and future health professionals and has an amazing staff and cadre of volunteers to accomplish this mission. The staff's enthusiasm is infectious and motivating. If you don't believe it, try saying no to attending the annual march to Capitol Hill! The staff is small in number but extremely commited to their jobs. If they do not have an answer to your question, they will work hard to get the right information to you. I know how hard the board works to make sure donations are used in a manner that will have the most impact for survivors and all women at risk of developing ovarian cancer. Proud to give my dollars to this major force on the TEAL TEAM.

As a 12-year survivor of ovarian cancer I have watched as the various national organizations have been established, evolved, and reached out to our patient population. THe Ovarian Cancer National Alliance (OCNA) has been the driving force in trying to unite the national organizations, provide support to state organizations, get involved in legislative action so necessary for increasing funding for research and awareness, and most importantly giving us a voice as we battle this disease. Most recently I attended the OCNA 2009 National Conference and witnessed first hand how dedicated the entire OCNA staff is to our cause. They have developed a strong national agenda and work each and evry day toward achieving its goals. They certainly have provided me with an avenue to express my passion for advocacy and awareness of ovarian cancer and reach thousands of women with vital information.

Ocna's customer service is horrible. If you call, there's rarely anyone to answer other than interns, who don't know enough to answer the questions. It also takes a long time to receive a gift acknowledgement. Ocna obviously funds the salaries of the higher level staff, and seems to hire all interns as staff....so I wonder how my donations are being used.

I wish they would state the percentage of our donation funds goes directly to the cause. I hate giving to charities because of adminstrators and advertisors take too much money.

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.

The Great!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

The dedication of the junior committee---young people that do not have a connection to the disease. They are focused and determined on our work because of the support and leadership provided by Ovarian Cancer National Alliance.

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 Great!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

how it has helped the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance fight Medicare to get Avastin coverage for women with ovarian cancer in Colorado.

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.

The Great!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the joy and scene of togetherness which the OCNA provides at all of their events and outreach programs are priceless

The organization is an excellent group of advocates for those affected by ovarian cancer and their families and friends. They support a proactive, non victim role for women in championing their own health.

The Great!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

at their conference. The women there who had experienced ovarian cancer clearly leaned on the organization for support.
