This organization is making a difference in the lives of those with ovarian cancer. Not only are they directly helping patients and their families afford care and necessities while in treatment (i.e.- transportation, heat/AC, food, rent), but also help with the future trajectory of the disease. It funds early detection research that will help those get diagnosed earlier, thus increasing the prognosis of treatment tremendously.

The Monica K Young Foundation is run by an extremely hardworking and talented family in-memorial to their namesake. They organize, run events, assist with outreach, and help raise awareness. Cancer is a disease that effects us all and this group is a great cause to donate to ask they help fight ovarian cancer.

There isn't a single person on this planet who doesn't know someone who has been affected by this horrible disease. Cancer does not discriminate, age, gender, race.....It doesn't matter. The Monica K. Young Foundation is about pulling together all those who recognize this fact and coming together for the common greater good in hopes of winning the fight against cancer. I have been a volunteer for two consecutive years now , and I look forward to being a part of this event for years to come.

The Monica K Young Foundation is run by responsible, efficient, and caring people. I have no doubt the funds are being put to great use. In their first year of existence, they already raised and started to distribute thousands of dollars for ovarian cancer care and research. Their annual event also brings the community together.

I have had the pleasure of going to the Monica K Young Foundations Ovarian Cancer walk for both of the years it has been going on. I am in awe of what the Young family has accomplished in just these two years. They have an organized and well thought out event with a 1 mile walk, food, and live music. They also have guest speakers from various cancer organizations they work with. It's been great to see where the donations are going and what that research is accomplishing. They also have funds in place to help individual people financially with various expenses pertaining to Ovarian Cancer (and i'm sure other things). It has been an honor to be able to volunteer my time to help this worthwhile family non profit, in honor of Monica Young and all of the other people suffering from Ovarian Cancer. I look forward to volunteering again.

I went to the charity's OutWalk Ovarian Cancer event this past year. The event was organized and well run. After the 1 mile walk, there was a reception that included food, live music, and speakers. My favorite speech was from Dr. Leiser from the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey who talked about the changes to treatment that she has observed over the course of her career. Her genuine excitement about the current research makes it really clear how impactful our donations are.
