I was honored to represent Team T.E.A.L for the 2024 New York City Marathon. Running the NYC Marathon with Team T.E.A.L. was an incredibly rewarding experience. The support from the team was invaluable, both during training and on race day. Aside from the great experience I've had on Team T.E.A.L., the overall dedication to raising awareness and funding research for ovarian cancer that this organization does is both impactful and inspiring. They create a strong sense of community, fostering support and encouragement for those affected by ovarian cancer and for those who are passionate about making a difference. The resources and guidance they provide are invaluable, whether you're participating in an event, fundraising, or simply seeking information. Their work in empowering women to understand their bodies and advocate for their health is vital. T.E.A.L. is not just a charity; it's a beacon of hope and a powerful force for change in the fight against ovarian cancer. I'm incredibly grateful for their dedication and the positive impact they have on so many lives.
I worked with Tell Every Amazing Lady in conjunction with the NYC Marathon. The organization was passionate, professional, and committed to making lives better and supporting those affected by ovarian cancer. I’m honored to have had the opportunity to be associated with such a great organization. Keep changing the world!
Ran with Tell Every Amazing Lady for the 2024 marathon. A very positive experience with this organization.
Tell Every Amazing Lady (TEAL) is helping hundreds of women in their journey with ovarian cancer. Using a holistic approach, TEAL is filling many gaps for women that can't be met by their community or healthcare professionals. From hosting various workshops and sharing resources to sending survivors birthday kits and hosting socials, they are showing many women they are not alone. TEAL is not only doing amazing but necessary work.
Tell Every Amazing Lady (TEAL) has been especially helpful to me during my ovarian cancer journey. I have really enjoyed and look forward to the weekly Energy Healing and Meditation Workshop...it is a great mid-week pick me up!! I always leave it feeling relaxed, calm and prepared to deal positively with whatever comes up. TEAL has provided valuable resources and information to help me navigate and make decisions about my care. Mostly it makes me feel connected with others who understand and care.
TEAL has become a crucial part off my lifeline as I navigate ovarian cancer. Through their online programs I'm able to connect with others. I participate in the weekly meditations on Zoom, something I haven't found anywhere else. My Wednesdays are always better when I start with the TEAL energy meditations! I'm fortunate to have found TEAL and have them offer their services to me even though I don't live in NY. The staff are always supportive--sending me a package at just the right time during treatment, calling me to check in, and more.
Teal is truly one of the best supportive organizations there is out there for woman struggling with ovarian cancer. It is fantastic.
Several years ago I signed up for TEAL meditation via zoom. Since then It has been a remarkable experience, both in the great guidance by Jane who leads the weekly event as well as the friendships developed with other ovarian cancer survivors. This is one of many events, workshops and resources which TEAL has developed with the amazing staff and volunteers. As a national organization TEAL has undoubtedly touched the lives of thousands of survivors, family and caretakers who rely on TEAL for guidance and support. if I could give it 10 stars, I would!
I did volunteer work here as a requirement from my school. It was a great experience, everyone here was so nice and it was amazing to hear about all that they do.
Since the month of September, I actively participated in T.E.A.L's ovarian cancer awareness initiatives and was genuinely amazed by their dedication to fundraising and raising awareness. Their relentless pursuit of innovative methods to collaborate with hospitals and other organizations for advocacy is truly admirable. They demonstrate a profound commitment to the survivors they assist, and it's impressive to witness the diverse range of support services they offer. Their unwavering commitment to broadening their reach and aiding as many ovarian cancer patients as they can is truly remarkable.
This is an incredible nonprofit :-) The mission is amazing and so important. The people are incredible, from the staff to the volunteers, everyone is so passionate and dedicated to spreading awareness regarding ovarian cancer. It is a selfless organization with selfless people that genuinely just wish to protect women all around the world.
T.E.A.L.®'s mission is so impactful. The work that is done for women around the country is so important.
TEAL is a non-profit organization with a steadfast commitment to advancing early detection of ovarian cancer by raising awareness and providing funding for research. Beyond its primary mission, the organization has broadened its efforts to increase awareness of various women's health issues. It serves as a vital catalyst in empowering women to take charge of their health and become their own advocates.
My personal involvement as a volunteer with TEAL during a 5K event has shown me the significance of community and support for survivors and/or their families. I am also assisting with creating content to increase awareness about women's health issues and can attest to the organization's dedication to spreading knowledge as a powerful means of improving women's health and well-being.
I recently got to know the organization T.E.A.L. after volunteering at the T.E.A.L. walk in Prospect Park. I got to see how the program brought people affected by ovarian cancer together and the incredible support the foundation provided.
This nonprofit has provided me such great resources and connections through the past few years. I have loved attending their walks and experiencing a sense of community through TEAL.
This organization stands out for its dedication to battling ovarian cancer. Their website offers valuable information about the disease, making it a reliable resource for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals like myself.
What's impressive is their emphasis on community support. They facilitate support groups that connect patients and survivors, fostering a sense of camaraderie that can be incredibly uplifting. This is a commendable nonprofit making a real difference in the fight against ovarian cancer. Whether you're seeking information, support, or a way to contribute, this organization offers a practical and impactful avenue to get involved.
TEAL is an amazing organization that promotes women's health and ovarian cancer awareness. They provide support and resources for individuals and families dealing with ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is difficult to diagnose and therefore is a leading cause of death among women. TEAL spreads valuable information to help spread awareness of the signs/symptoms of ovarian cancer which will leads to earlier detection and fewer deaths. I support TEAL's mission and thoroughly enjoyed volunteering with this organization.
I had chemotherapy for Ovarian Cancer in 2010. Needless to say I was worried, scared and unsure of my future. I discovered TEAL not long afterward and feel I have been given an unbelievable gift. I attended the restorative meditation sessions with Jane W. as well as the special TEAL events for survivors which were so much fun! Everyone I have met through TEAL has been supportive, encouraging, and upbeat. I cannot tell you how much they have helped me and other survivors. Last fall my daughter attended the TEAL event in Brooklyn as well as TEAL headquarters. We both had a fantastic time. I am attaching a few photos from that day. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
I first connected with TEAL because of my personal experience with being a caregiver for my sister who had ovarian cancer.
I was immediately made to feel welcome and connected to the warm, professionalism of everyone there. I wanted to give back and started volunteering leading energy healing meditations. I love connecting to these wonderful women. I get back so much more than I give!
Amazing team!! They helped grow my advocacy skills and they are really connected with the community.
Amazing organization, great cause, very helpful volunteers. TEAL is instrumental in spreading awareness for ovarian cancer, and I know they will continue to do great work in the future.
I had the opportunity to go to the women’s health expo 2022. TEAL is doing an amazing job spreading the word about women’s health and giving survivors a place.
TEAL is a wonderful organization that helps bring awareness to ovarian cancer. The organization provides resources for women and so much education for many of us who were unaware of the prevalence of this disease. They are doing such important work to raise money towards funding research to improve screening options and treatment. They provide such a supportive community for anyone who has been through this and their families as well. I am honored to be able to be working with them to help in any capacity that I can.
I had the great opportunity to work with T.E.A.L. during their Women's Health Expo in Brooklyn and had an amazing time! This organization really supports their survivors and gives back to the community to spread awareness. We had a great time with the survivor experience and am very excited to continue my work with them this fall!
I have seen Tell Every Amazing Lady about Ovarian Cancer (T.E.A.L.) in action and I can attest they are doing wonderful work. Their main goal is in their name--to inform all women about ovarian cancer, and to encourage proactive and preventive testing and screening for this terrible, and mostly silent, disease. They also provide support for those affected, whether newly diagnosed, receiving ongoing treatment, or a survivor. I will continue to support T.E.A.L. and I look forward to seeing them reach their goal of informing every woman in the world about ovarian cancer.
TEAL is doing some amazing things in NYC and beyond. The work they do to raise awareness about ovarian cancer is incredibly important and is essential for women's health.
I attended TEAL walk in prospect park for ovarian cancer awareness month in September and had an amazing time! It was great to see everyone rallying around the survivors of ovarian cancer who visited!
Through this nonprofit, I was able to create change in people’s lives and support the organization in it’s mission. It provides great community resources and events to improve support and awareness for women's health and ovarian cancer. Wonderful work being done!!
TEAL is a fantastic foundation with amazing people doing great work to help survivors of ovarian cancer. There is currently no way to screen for ovarian cancer so the awareness that TEAL spreads is helping so many people understand the signs and symptoms. Everyone involved really cares and it's a great experience to volunteer with them.
I've had a wonderful time volunteering with Tell Every Amazing Lady! Seeing the impact they have on ovarian cancer patients and survivors in the community and across the country is incredible, and I am incredibly thankful for resources such as TEAL.
I am a new staff member at Tell Every Amazing Lady About Ovarian Cancer Foundation, and it has been a wonderful experience so far. I can tell that everyone who works here is passionate about supporting ovarian cancer survivors and increasing awareness and education for this disease. I look forward to continuing my work to this important cause just as the rest of the staff and volunteers do!
I am an intern at Tell Every Amazing Lady about Ovarian Cancer Foundation and I have absolutely loved working here. The staff is efficient and compassionate, and the Foundation plays an important role in this community by bringing awareness to Ovarian Cancer.
Excellent non-profit. Hardworking, dedicated staff are organized and work tirelessly to fulfill the mission of this organization. I have been a volunteer since May 2022 and am enjoying it. Staff are friendly, make me feel welcome, and I am thrilled to be contributing to the effort of public awareness and education of ovarian cancer. I look forward to supporting the Tell Every Amazing Lady About Ovarian Cancer Foundation as a volunteer in the coming months and years.

This is an amazing group, not only do they spread awareness, they educate! I love participating in their workshops..in person and online. Online has been extremely beneficial, during Covid.
I’m so grateful for everything they do! The birthday and welcome packages bring a smile to my face and I always look forward to the virtual survivor socials. This charity has been pivotal to my acceptance of my diagnosis and support network.
Tell Every Amazing Lady has been a part of my local community for years. The wonderful, caring, supportive work they do for ovarian cancer survivors and their families is inspiring. Their employees are kind, respectful and so helpful. They are an inspiration!
When I first moved into my home in Marine Park, Brooklyn Louisa McGregor was the first person to come over and introduce herself and make us feel at home because that was the type of person she was. From there we established a friendship and she told me about her ovarian cancer diagnoses and then continued to tell me about this walk she and her sister Pamela were putting together in Prospect Park, Brooklyn and I was like sign me up and I have been with the T.E.A.L. organization since then. The work that Pamela and her staff do is simply amazing and they are true to their mission to spread awareness, education and one day find a test for early detection. I am truly proud to be part of the organization.
Previous Stories
I met Louisa in the winter of 2008, she was so upbeat and happy I never would have guessed she had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. When I did find out I was shocked, not only because she didn't appear to be sick at all but because it's ovarian cancer. At that point I had heard of it, but had never met someone with it. And someone like Louisa, who is so charismatic and friendly, really brought this disease into reality for me. I knew I had to learn everything I could about ovarian cancer. I mean, as a woman, how could I not? Again, I was shocked to learn how little the public - and even doctors - know about ovarian cancer. I saw no other choice but to get involved and volunteer with TEAL. Not only has TEAL educated me about the disease but it has taught me how very important it is to educate others. I have joined a lot of teams and groups through the years, but I have to say Teal is one of the best organizations I have ever joined and I am proud to call myself a member. If you are looking to make a difference and want to join a great organization with extraordinary people this is the one.
My name is Erika Gonzalez, and I am a second-year graduate student at New York University. I am currently interning at T.E.A.L., and it has been a great experience so far. One of the aspects that intrigued me to intern at T.E.A.L. is that the organization focuses on bringing awareness at all stages of a women’s life regardless of race or social class. I focus on Spanish outreach, translating materials to Spanish, and working on emails, phone calls, websites, and infographics.
Tell Every Amazing Lady has the most hard-working, empathetic, and sweetest employees! They always go above and beyond with their customer service, whether it's for participants at an event of theirs or for a person affected by ovarian cancer.
I'm currently interning at TEAL and it's been a highly rewarding experience so far. The expectations are clear, the assignments are organized, and frequent communication is encouraged. My time here has allowed me to realize that I'm interested in pursuing women's health, and I look forward to seeing what they accomplish in the coming years.
I have been involved with T.E.A.L throughout the month of September and am majorly impressed with the amount of work they did fundraising and spreading awareness throughout ovarian cancer awareness month. They are always looking for new ways to spread awareness through partnering with hospitals or other organizations. They care deeply about the survivors they support and it's great to see the variety of different support services they have. They constant push to expand and support as many ovarian cancer patients as possible is incredible.
I previously worked. at T.E.A.L and I fell in love with their mission, values and story. However, it is very different working under their management. You are surveillance, berated, and and not valued. The founder is very nice at the beginning, but a switch turns off when you ask questions or for guidance. Not a very inclusive environment either, and it is a shame since their mission is so great. Do better please.
Just another reason for me to count my blessings
With TEAL I feel like:
They get me
I have more good people acting like “you’ve got this girl”
Loving caring giving me this wonderful opportunity to see and hear knowledgeable teams from health, spirit, meditation.
Every question that I had every time I needed positive reinforcement I got it in minutes.
God bless you all Amazing ladies starts with you TEAL.
I have been treated very well and being with other women who went through what I did. The walks are always fun but my body hurts so bad after. I need take brake sometimes.
I lost my mom from ovarian cancer almost a year ago and I wanted to do something to help out people like my mom. I reached out to Tell Every Amazing Lady and I now have an internship with them! They tailored their needs to my needs and we created an internship that challenges me and has already taught me so much! Every task I do has a purpose which makes it so meaningful and worthwhile. I love working with Tell Every Amazing Lady.
TEAL is an organization dedicated to helping those with Ovarian Cancer. When working with the nonprofit I realized the staff is extremely welcoming and committed, the events they host are beautifully created, and they are always working their hardest to make sure everything that they do is completed perfectly. The amount of effort and love put into what TEAL does is inspirational. I am honored that I have been able to work with them and cannot wait to continue to work with them in the future.
Tell Every Amazing Lady goes above and beyond to educate and promote awareness on the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer. The support network they have created for ovarian cancer survivors is incredible and inspiring. Love this organization!
I have volunteered with TEAL for the last year and a half. I've worked at their center to provide support to survivors, organized an awareness event with them and participated in their fundraising walk. They work tirelessly to address the pressing issues associated with ovarian cancer such as building awareness, providing support to survivors and raising money for research. I am proud to volunteer with such a great organization!
I was great to volunteer for teal family. They teach you how to be professional and help others to provide awareness.
TEAL is an incredible organization that sheds light upon a type of cancer that is not often discussed as much as it should be. From their walks to their workshops, I find that their information is useful and their community very supportive!
I have been in touch with T.E.A.L.® since they attended a career fair at my university this past March. I was extremely moved by how genuinely interested the staff was in every candidate that came to their table. The CEO and co-founder of T.E.A.L.®, Pamela, was there herself and even conducted interviews herself personally. Throughout the hiring process, the T.E.A.L.® staff was extremely transparent. I have now been an intern for them for about two weeks, and so far, I feel incredibly welcome. It is extremely evident that they care a lot about not just maximizing their interns' strengths, but helping their interns grow too. They also put an incredible amount of energy and passion into all the events that they organize. Overall, I have had a very positive experience with T.E.A.L.® and can't wait to become more involved within it.
A great nonprofit organization with a cause that needs to be talked about more. They have engaging workshops and programs such as the survivor program for anyone and everyone affected by ovarian cancer.
This is a great organization that is truly tackling ovarian cancer from all angles. They have support groups, awareness programs, workshops, connections for survivors, and more. While I was here I helped with a workshop that focused on raising awareness for genetic testing for cancer. This is a nonprofit that is truly dedicated to their work.
I had a great time as an intern at T.E.A.L.®. T.E.A.L.® is a collaborative and supportive environment, and I learned a lot from my projects and assignments. It is an amazing organization, and everyone works tirelessly to support survivors, fund research, and promote awareness of ovarian cancer.
I worked with this organization in the past in order to fulfill a school requirement but I have continued to be involved with T.E.A.L because of the vital work that they do. There is not a lot of resources out there for Ovarian Cancer patients and their families and I personally know that because I am personally affected by this horrendous disease. This organization is one of the few that works with the survivors of this disease as well as the caregivers. They provide resources, have workshops, and a safe space for them to come to. Moreover, their annual walk is one of the biggest specifically for Ovarian cancer which is desperately needed in order to highlight the need for research for this disease so there can one day be a screening test in place and ultimately a cure.
I volunteered with this organization and will continue to do so because of the important work they are doing. It is a great place for volunteers because you always feel like your contributions and input are valued.
Such a wonderful organization! I am currently a volunteer and I really enjoy the atmosphere and everyone is very friendly and helpful. I love their involvement in the community.
It’s not often that one comes across an organization and staff as dedicated as TEAL is.
I’ve known about TEAL for years and am so impressed by them and what they do. Educate. Fund raise. Support not only those with Ovarian Cancer but family members as well.
It’s an honor to know them
The T.E.A.L. walk in Brooklyn, NY was an amazing day for people affected by Ovarian Cancer to come together and feel supported by a community. This organization does great work! Also, their community center has great events and workshops throughout the year.
Tell Every Amazing Lady is an important resource for women's health. They raise awareness about a little-known disease to help save lives. They offer free programs for patients. They go above and beyond to serve their constituents, and work tirelessly to spread their message. They are a great nonprofit doing amazing work for an important cause!
The foundation provides a comforting and supporting environment where people can learn about Ovarian Cancer, learn new skills, and meet new people.
Tell Every Amazing Lady About Ovarian Cancer is a great non-profit organization that raises awareness on ovarian cancer. There aren't any accurate screening tests for ovarian cancer so this organization is helpful to educate women on the signs/symptoms and risk factors so that ovarian cancer can be prevented or detected at an earlier state.
T.E.A.L.® is amazing! T.E.A.L.'s provides a wonderful community for ovarian cancer survivors and families, and they have a million resources for Amazing Ladies! The survivor ceremony at the annual walk for ovarian cancer is very moving and you can tell the survivors are so happy and excited to be celebrated. Ovarian cancer is underfunded, and I'm so glad I've gotten to be a part of this organization and help out!!
I am an intern at TEAL and have had the opportunity to work with them for the past two semesters and the insight and hands-on experience I have gained has been invaluable. Since, they are a nonprofit it is an "all-hands on deck" situation which allows me to see various tasks that are needed when running a business. They do a wonderful job of making themselves accessible to the public and always are working towards their mission of spreading awareness.
A few years ago I interviewed Louisa McGregor’s sister for the Canarsie Courier newspaper as a profile of the non profit organization. After hearing the long struggle and about Louisa’s journey to bring awareness to ovarian cancer, I decided to run the TEAL 5K race to benefit awareness of the disease. It was my FIRST competitive race and I encountered so many amazing women and families of survivors. Ever since my first race in 2015, I’ve joined this charity to keep Louisa’s memory alive and support all women battling this disease. This non profit does a great job supporting the cause!!!
I have a cousin that was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and T.E.A.L. has been an amazing part of her journey. They have provided support not only for her but for the family as well. T.E.A.L. has provided workshops, volunteering opportunites and genunie care and compassion. Pamela makes you feel like family and we appreciate her and T.E.A.L. very much for everything they do.
T.E.A.L. is a great non-profit! Really gives you a chance to connect with survivors and raise awareness.
As a long time volunteer, intern, and staff member, it has been an incredible journey to watch T.E.A.L. (r) grow as an organization. T.E.A.L. (r) truly impacts the community, and their reach can be felt nation wide! I am honored to have been able to work with T.E.A.L. (r) over the last three years and I cant wait for what the next years will bring.
I have witnessed from the inside of this organization the outstanding effort put forwards to achieve its mission to educate the public and raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer, to support survivors and to raise funds to advance the research in the area of ovarian cancer. T.E.A.L. undertakes every endeavor with a deep passion and commitment to changing lives. What an inspiring place.
T.EA.L.® is an amazing organization working towards a great cause! I have had the pleasure to volunteer for T.EA.L.® and work along a group of amazing people always working hard every day to raise ovarian cancer awareness and provide support services to survivors, caregivers, and anyone being affected by ovarian cancer.
Tell Every Amazing Lady® is a great organization that I have the pleasure of working for!
I originally discovered the organization when I was looking for a walk/run to do with my mom, an ovarian cancer survivor. I found T.E.A.L.® and I was so excited to join the walk and celebrate my mother's strength and bravery. This year T.E.A.L.® is celebrating our 10 year anniversary and would love for everyone to join us at the Brooklyn Walk/Run in Prospect Park. To register go to www.tealwalk.org/brooklyn

I found out about T.E.A.L® through my internship search but was drawn to this organization for personal reasons. Their mission and objectives resonates with me since my mother was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer last year. Having the opportunity to work with them and seeing the handwork and dedications of everyone involved with this organization has been a great experience. The support they provide to the survivors and their families is much needed and valuable. I am grateful that I am able to contribute my time to this outstanding organization.
When I first heard about TEAL, I was automatically touched by the organization's founding story. I am a supporter of TEAL and have been to the walk last year. The survivor ceremony was very inspiring and I would like to thank TEAL for all they do every day!
The staff and volunteers at T.E.A.L. are passionate about finding a cure for ovarian cancer and it shows! I have experienced first hand that this passion drives the organization! Each staff member goes above and beyond to make sure that the organization is running smoothly and providing the best experience for survivors, their families and the community both locally and globally. The organization provides several programs that are sure to reach each and every person, whether they are directly effected by ovarian caner or just want to know more. T.E.A.L. has created a community space that is not only welcoming but also useful to the community. They are committed to the fight against ovarian cancer! #TellEveryAmazingLady
I have had the pleasure to be involved with T.E.A.L.® as an Intern as of January 2017,My experience so far has been nothing short of Amazing! Everyday has been a learning experience and filled with new things and excitement. The staff has been so open and welcoming which has made my experience even more enjoyable. This organization has so many things to offer while growing and expanding. If you are looking for a welcoming, heart felt organization on a mission to help Every Amazing Lady across the nation this is it!!!
I learned about T.E.A.L through a job fair I went to at Brooklyn College. From then on, I was inspired to get involved to support the fight against ovarian cancer because of the extraordinary story about this organization. The student club I'm currently in, pitched ideas to the CEO, Pamela, to see if she could come speak at our school. We were able to collaborate together successfully. Pamela spoke at Brooklyn College as a guest speaker during the club's event called "Advertising in Non-Profit". We received great feedback about the event because students learned about ovarian cancer as well as the business aspects of T.E.A.L.
I am a volunteer for TEAL. The team for TEAL are committed to what they do. The workshops they do help others like people who have been effected by ovarian cancer, survivors, patients, or loved ones of the ovarian cancer patients/survivors. Throughout each day, there are different tasks each person does that helps the ovarian cancer patients/survivors and their families. I see how each member works hard to get their work done and accomplished every time. They support the ovarian cancer patients/survivors and their families.
I just believe that the story this nonprofit had was a very unique one! In addition to the unique story I believed that this organization inspires lots of positive changes to everyone and that its mission value can relate with many things in the world
Pamela, the CEO of T.E.A.L came to Brooklyn College to speak at our event about Marketing in Non-Profit. She spent time sharing what symptoms can be linked to Ovarian Cancer and the reasons why the public needs to know more about Ovarian Cancer. She also took the time to share with us how her non-profit used branding, and marketing to gain awareness for their cause.
I became involved in T.E.A.L. as a volunteer through a connection in Scouting with the son of Louisa McGregor, one of the founders of the organization, who has since succumbed to ovarian cancer. I have watched this organization grow every year that I have been a part of it since its inception and know that their efforts are saving lives through the outstanding efforts they are making to raise awareness of this disease; and in raising funds to support research. The Boy Scouts are called to be of service to others as one of our core values. I feel that working with T.E.A.L. is the greatest service project that I now perform on an annual basis because of the impact it has on so many lives.
I have participated and volunteered in many T.E.A.L. events and functions and can say that the staff is top notch with great attention to detail, very mindful of money and time. As such, it's a first rate organization very worthy of your money and time.
My experience with T.E.A.L came about through a friend who lost her sister. Until then, I knew nothing about ovarian cancer. Throughout this journey I have learned what symptoms to look for, the lack of tests that exists for early detection and I have seen close hand the heart break involved when a diagnosis comes too late. It is why I have had the honor of volunteering with TEAL for the last 7yrs. We all have a mother, aunt, sister, cousin, daughter or friend and is why i believe in the importance of spreading the awareness and education to them all in order to help early detection.
T.E.A.L is an amazing organization. I had the opportunity of interning with them and has volunteered every year for their annual TEAL Walk since last three years. It's a team full of extremely hard working people. T.E.A.L has played a keen role in spreading awareness about Ovarian Cancer locally and nationally. Not only do they provide services & resources for the ovarian cancer survivors but also have support services & linkage to other resources for the family members of those touched by ovarian cancer. T.E.A.L has grown into this wonderful family of people who work so hard towards the goal of spreading awareness about risks & symptoms of ovarian cancer and funding research for better screening options. I feel proud to be a part of T.E.A.L and hope to continue working with them in future as well.
When I first learned about the Tell Every Amazing Lady About Ovarian Cancer Louisa M McGregor Ovarian Cancer Foundation, aka T.E.A.L., I was inspired by their mission and story. The founders are examples of what it means to fight against adversity and I believe it resonates within the community that they serve. The staff, workshops and programs are amazing. Although I've volunteered with the organization for a short time, I can see how great of an impact it's making on the lives of people who are both directly and indirectly affected by ovarian cancer.
Tell Every Amazing Lady About Ovarian Cancer Louisa M McGregor Ovarian Cancer Foundation is an amazing nonprofit that builds an incredibly strong community and let's women and families that have dealt with Ovarian Cancer know they are not alone.
I have personally watched ®T.E.A.L. change lives. Whether it is providing supportive programs for those who have lost someone to ovarian cancer, or providing strength and empowerment to the strong women fighting it, everyone that is involved with ®T.E.A.L. is changed for the better. Over the years I have seen ®T.E.A.L. grow from an organization in small home office into a community center. I have seen their ovarian cancer walk grow from a couple of participants to thousands. ®T.E.A.L. is constantly gaining influence each year and reaching more and more people.
T.E.A.L. is the best! Been following and volunteering with them for 6 years. Through them I was able to organize a walk in Central Valley, NY for two years! Great organization. Being an ovarian cancer survivor gives me great pride to get the word out on awareness.

T.E.A.L. is an amazing organization! They have helped me with the support I need to continue through my struggles. I am an 8 year survivor and they give me hope that the research is out there to cure this disease. I will assist them with whatever I can to get this done! I was very happy to join T.E.A.L. walk 5 years ago to get the word out about awareness.
Tell Every Amazing Lady about Ovarian Cancer helped me get out of my slump after surviving surgery and chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. The T.E.A.L. Walk was the prime motivator for me to get out and celebrate life. I made friends. I have joined the group for great activities.
I learned that I am not alone and met women from my neighborhood and region. The members and founder are so supportive and uplifting. I want to help raise awareness.
Thank you so much ladies! Keep up the good work!
T.E.A.L what a powerful movement. I am so impressed with Pamela, her staff, and her volunteers who support such a worthy cause with love and conviction.
I have been with ®T.E.A.L. since the first walk and I am honored and proud to be involved with this wonderful organization.I have seen the continuous hard work and commitment of the many volunteers and members who are helping with awareness, support, and research in the hopes of one day eliminating this silent killer called Ovarian Cancer. As ®T.E.A.L. continues to grow so does the number of Survivors.
I stumbled across T.E.A.L. last year trying to create an event in my community for ovarian cancer. I have an aunt who is a two-year survivor and wanted to create an event to honor her fight against the disease and also help spread awareness for a disease that "whispers." Pamela and her team have been nothing but supportive as we have tried creating a presence in the Southeast. Two events have taken place in the Southeast, so far, and we continue to grow and reach more and more people. I couldn't have done it without the help of the T.E.A.L. foundation.
I have volunteered for T.E.A.L. since it was founded 7 years ago. I am honored to have watched it grow each year. T.E.A.L. is an amazing organization raising money and awareness for Ovarian Cancer.
T.E.A.L. is an amazing organization! When I first found out about it, I was so excited to learn more about its mission and outreach. They provide support to survivors and their families and also have great awareness programs and resources all about ovarian cancer for the general public. This year was my first year volunteering for the annual T.E.A.L. walk and it was so nice seeing all the smiles on everyone's faces, including other volunteers, survivors, families, and friends. It was truly an amazing experience, being able to help in any way I could, to celebrate Ovarian Cancer survivors.
I have been volunteering with TEAL since its inception in 2009. Louisa was a great friend and to see what has been accomplished in her name since then is truly Amazing! Pamela and her team consistently host events that not only inspire others but also bring hope to so many, as well as raising money to support awareness. Their dedication to fighting this horrible disease is endless. Working at the walks and listening to the families affected praise this organization and all the good they are doing is always one of the highlights of my year ! Well Done TEAL !!!

I’ve been working with ®T.E.A.L. for about a year now and still think it’s AMAZING! I was initially attracted to this movement because 1) I love the color teal for Ovarian Cancer awareness 2) I was impressed with the variety of ®T.E.A.L. walks/events/fundraisers & the success ®T.E.A.L. has achieved in such a short amount of time, and 3) because my grandmother was an Ovarian Cancer survivor. Everyday I feel closer to her and I know she’s proud that I can use her experience with this disease as a educational tool in presentations. I know she’s absolutely loving the attention ☺. Every day is something new and exciting with ®T.E.A.L. whether we’re at a Health Fair spreading awareness about the signs, symptoms, and risk factors to Amazing Ladies everywhere or in the office organizing workshops, events, and walks throughout the USA. I’m so lucky to be a part of such a dynamic organization that does Amazing things for Amazing Ladies and thrilled I have another excuse to tell the world about my Amazing Lady, my grandma Lolo!
I lost my mother in 2003 to ovarian cancer. My family and I have supported T.E.A.L. since we found out they were having their first walk in September 2009. I wanted a way to honor my mother and try to avoid this type of loss from happening to other families. T.E.A.L. does a wonderful job in not only providing funds for research purposes and spreading awareness, but in supporting survivors and celebrating their victory over cancer as well. I am proud to say that I support this organization and all of the work that they do.
This organization is such a support system for survivors and for families of those affected by Ovarian Cancer. If I hear of someone who has Ovarian Cancer, I tell them about T.E.A.L. And they are thankful and grateful that there is somewhere to turn in such a scary point in their lives. T.E.A.L. gives hope to all involved!
My name is Emma and I am a current intern here at Tell Every Amazing Lady. Pamela is an awesome and inspiring boss. She has managed to take a small grass-roots non profit with so much heart and turn it into a continuously growing organization that reaches outlets all across the country. This charity does so much for small communities in Brooklyn and general New York City through spreading awareness and education. I am proud to be associated with T.E.A.L. and I believe the organization will continue to thrive and do great things!
My name is Tina and I am currently an intern at T.E.A.L. This organization continues to inspire me every day with its ability to reach out to survivors and make every one of them feel beautiful and appreciated. Though this is a small organization, it makes an incredibly large impact! I truly am blessed to be able to work so closely with T.E.A.L.!
I am a college student currently completing an internship with T.E.A.L., and I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful it has been to work here! I'm proud to be involved with an organization and group of people that are so mission-driven, ambitious, creative, and thoroughly supportive. I have already learned so much about what a nonprofit requires, not only to be successful and grow, but also to maintain integrity and community. As a student, I can also say that T.E.A.L. has been an especially unique environment for me because of how genuinely involved and trusted I've been with the work. Everyone's ideas and individual abilities are valued here. T.E.A.L. is a truly great and meaningful organization for everyone who's been touched by it.
Interning at T.E.A.L. for the summer has been an incredible experience. This whole organization is so inspiring for everyone involved. Everyone involved with T.E.AL., especially the CEO Pamela Esposito-Amery, really truly care to help others and to provide the knowledge they need about ovarian cancer. The amount of work put into this organization as a whole is incredible. Running the social media for the summer really gave me a look at how many people are affected by and involved with T.E.A.L. and it is truly amazing.
I've volunteered with T.E.A.L. for only a few months now i can truly see how passionate and giving this organization is to its supporters. The Amazing Lady Community truly is one of the warmest and helping-hand ready i've experienced. Having a medical career background I can tell the difference between those who care about their patrons and those who simply want their name out there. This organization and most specifically its co-founder Pamela Esposito-Amery truly have a warm heart. This foundation deserves to be supported in all avenues possible.
I am a survivor since 2008 and until Teal was organized there was no place for Ovarian cancer patients to go. Teal provides support, knowledge and promotes awareness. Through the year long activities such as walk/run and baseball games money is raised to aid reasearch in hopefully finding a cure for this dreadful disease. TEAL=HOPE
Tell Every Amazing Lady is an amazing organization which raises money for research and to help find a cure. I was lucky to know Louisa, one of the founders of TEAL. I watched her and her sister Pamela build TEAL from the ground up and raise millions over the past years with just the help of volunteers. I wholeheartedly am commited to TEAL as an organization. This year alone my mother, aunt and grandmother were all diagnosed with cancer. Organizations that are grass roots and have no large overhead costs are the ones we should be donating to. I full recommend teal and hope we can find a cure !
Volunteering at TEAL has given me a better understand of how important early detection is. Since currently, there are no tests to screen for ovarian cancer, it is crucial to recognize the symptoms. The staffs are all extremely dedicated in educating the public about this deadly cancer and have reach across to many states. Being able to work so close with the organization has allowed me to see how friendly and comforting they are to survivors and survivors’ friends and family members. Being able to volunteer at TEAL has taught me much more than I thought I would be learning from them.
I had the privilege of working closely with T.E.A.L. and was so impressed by this organization's dedication to working as an efficient, effective nonprofit. T.E.A.L's enthusiasm for spreading awareness and commitment to raising funds for Ovarian cancer research has helped so many women already, and I am so proud to contribute to their future impact through volunteering and participating in many T.E.A.L. Walks to come!
I have had the opportunity to partner closely with T.E.A.L. over the past few months. I am continually impressed by the organization's drive to spread awareness and education about ovarian cancer throughout NYC and the country. I am looking forward to participating in the upcoming 5K/Walk in September and many years to come!
I am a new volunteer for T.E.A.L. Tell Every Amazing Lady About Ovarian Cancer and I am more than impressed with this foundation. Having volunteered at MANY organizations and events, I am positive that T.E.A.L. ranks as the highest organized and kindest organization ever. The results T.E.A.L. produces are mind blowing seeing how it was founded from a home. I've never seen such a hard working Co Founder, Pamela, who is so unbelievably passionate about her work which rubs off on the volunteers and interns. Moreover, they are beyond appreciative for any help the volunteers provide and they are completely open to new ideas, innovation, and creativity. Instead of just assigning tasks to volunteers, they ask the volunteers what their interests are and they find something that matches. You're doing what you love in a fun, passionate environment. Definitely recommend anyone to give this a shot and volunteer.
The number one thing I love most about T.E.A.L Tell Every Amazing Lady about Ovarian Cancer is how down to earth the organization is. As an intern I work directly with the CEO and Co Founder Pamela who is so sweet and really just wants to raise awareness about Ovarian Cancer. I cannot vouch for other organizations but I can vouch for this one that what you see is what you get. On every card, brochure, etc., there is a list of signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer and to me that is so refreshing to see that an organization really and truly cares for people. Get involved with T.E.A.L or even just spread the word! Anything helps- just having one more person recognize signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer could help save a life.
I have been working with T.E.A.L.: Tell Every Amazing Lady About Ovarian Cancer since January. I go to St. Joseph's College in Brooklyn and work as the Campus Activities Board Special Programs Coordinator. This past September, St. Joseph's wasn't able to attend T.E.A.L.'s annual walk, but instead we fundraised and had CEO Pamela come to our school for an event specially dedicated to Ovarian Cancer. For weeks beforehand I read T.E.A.L.'s website over and over, as I felt I had such a tie to this organization, even before knowing Pamela and all she has done. After the event I became an intern for T.E.A.L. and I am so glad I did. Not many people don't know about this type of cancer or this organization and it is so important to spread the word! Now I help with events and having T.E.A.L.'s voice heard and it is AMAZING! Pamela is dedicated, smart, passionate and an overall great person. If you are looking to support a cause, support this one! Read about T.E.A.L. on our website and encourage others to do the same. Every time I am doing research for a good news story to share on T.E.A.L.'s page, I learn something new and it shocks me, not only because I didn't know about it, but also because it could happen to anyone! I have a large family and my four sister, mother, grandmothers, aunts, and cousins all mean the world to me. Pamela dedicated her life to this organization for her sister and all the women in the world that can be affected. I do this not only to help T.E.A.L. and all of the amazing ladies out there, but for Pamela, Louisa and all the important women in my life. Awareness is key, and that is what our mission is. T.E.A.L. is amazing for a million reasons and you should see why!! Become involved, or even just spread the word. Everyone that is involved with this organization is passionate, dedicated, smart and hardworking. Pamela, and the rest of the T.E.A.L. team works hard every day throughout the year to make this foundation work, and together we can change lives! T.E.A.L. is amazing in every aspect and I am so glad I am a part of such a great organization.
My wife and I have been involved with T.E.A.L. for over five years, and we are both deeply grateful and proud to be part of such an amazing organization. The love, commitment, dedication and energy infused by Louisa McGregor and her sister Pamela Esposito-Amery into T.E.A.L. permeate the walk, the volunteers and event staff, and everyone who come to walk. Everyone who attends comments on the upbeat and attentive volunteer staff.
It is more than just a walk. It is a powerful and moving event, that deeply touches everyone present - a very public place that allows for surprising intimacy and sharing - of tears, joy, courage and hope. Although Louisa is gone, Pamela, and her seemingly boundless energy, keeps T.E.A.L. vibrant, strong and constantly reaching out to grow. T.E.A.L, although a grassroots movement, has a powerful message that has reached many thousands. It is one of the big reasons that ovarian cancer awareness is spreading all over New York.
T.E.A.L. has grown more successful each year and more varied types of events are being held. Yet it has never lost its deeply personal roots and its humanity, which remain intact and accessible. T.E.A.L. truly is special!
I had volunteered at T.E.A.L for seven months. I love T.E.A.L! It became a part of me. Working for T.E.A.L is pleasure. This small organization does more than a bid organization do. Keep going team!
I met Pamela and Louisa through OCRF when my friend Lacey Gallagher died of ovarian cancer and left enough money to start a foundation to support research. Her wish was that we fund an "outdoor, joyful event" to raise money and awareness, and we opted to join forces with T.E.A.L. to make a walk happen in Brooklyn. In these five years I think T.E.A.L. has exceeded expectations and proven that a small dream and grassroots team can have a major impact. Each year the walk has grown and raised more money, and spread the word even farther than before, but it never loses that joyful homegrown feeling that made it happen in the first place. Pamela is a visionary leader and she has made this happen beyond anyone's biggest dream. Brava!
I love that T.E.A.L. manages to get things done in an efficient and professional manner, while still maintaining a unique personal, and human quality to their work that many non-profits lose as their reach grows. The T.E.A.L. Walk/Run touches thousands of lives, yet when you are at one of the events, it seems like everyone is a close and personal friend. The meaning and satisfaction the organization gives to suffers, survivors, and supporters affected by this disease is evident in the sheer force and dedication of its volunteer base. While working with T.E.A.L. I have met many volunteers who are incredibly devoted to the organization and are willing to donate their free time and skills to help build it. Because so many people believe in the the organization, it can function with very low overhead which means the money raised goes directly to where it is needed most, spreading the word about Ovarian Cancer and providing funding for screening test research.
I have been working with T.E.A.L.: Tell Every Amazing Lady About Ovarian Cancer since late May. The organization and Executive Director, Pamela, have done a great job of creating, organizing, and executing community events to spread Ovarian Cancer awareness. I worked with T.E.A.L. to help them reach more people and helped with events, such as the 2013 Ovarian Cancer Survivors Course at NYU Langone Medical Center. The current project that I am helping with is the 5th Annual Walk/5K Run for Ovarian Cancer in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, on September 7th! Everyone involved is constantly working to improve the experience for Ovarian Cancer survivors, those with the disease, and those affected by the disease!
I have been working here for my internship for about over a month. It is hard to get a small non-profit running and it needs a lot of work and effort. Ovarian cancer is very hard to diagnose and all women should know more about it. This is an extremely worthy cause.
I had been diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer when one of my daughters found this organization. As a family, we participated in the last 2 T.E.A.L. Walks. I can't say enough good things about T.E.A.L. Everyone involved with this organization has been wonderful. The walks have always been so emotional for me. I especially love when the survivors gather for a group photo. I'm happy to say I am cancer free today. The awareness to ovarian cancer that T.E.A.L. raises is so important for every amazing lady!
I had actually participated in the T.E.A.L. Walk in 2011 not knowing the story or mission of T.E.A.L. I first heard about the amazing story of T.E.A.L. and its mission; to promote the signs and symptoms of Ovarian Cancer and to help find a cure for this deadly disease, while attending an after school seminar at Brooklyn College. I only ended up attending to keep a friend company, but little did I know how impressed I would be with this organization. Pamela the Co-Founder and Executive Director at T.E.A.L. was the one who spoke about her and her sister Louisa's journey and about how still after her sister's death in 2011, she has dedicated her whole life to getting people to "Tell Every Amazing Lady" about this disease. Awareness and Research is T.E.A.L.'s primary focus. Pamela inspired me with her words and knowledge on the subject. My mother is a Breast Cancer survivor and I have always had such a hard time talking about it, watching Pamela speak about her sister and other survivors made me realize that the only way we can help fight any cancer is my helping out, and speaking out. At the end of the seminar she asked that if anyone would like to intern to please contact her. I saw this as a sign to help out and a few weeks later I had worked out an internship with Pamela.
I have been extremely proud to be a team member of this growing organization. I have no doubt in my mind that with the determination and leadership of Pamela and the heart put into it by all the volunteers, survivors, and board members that this will be a leading national Ovarian Cancer organization in 10 years. T.E.A.L. since its start in 2009 has raised over a quater of a million dollars in research. They have helped promote awareness all over NYC, they have the largest Ovarian Cancer Walk in NYC, partnered with the NY Mets for the first Ovarian Cancer Awareness Day at Citi Field ,they have helped survivors feel like that had a support system, and as they continue to grow T.E.A.L. keeps that family/ grassroots feel in everything they do. This is just not another corporate company it is a family. It has been my privilege to work with Pamela, and all the volunteers at T.E.A.L. to help "Tell Every Amazing Lady about Ovarian Cancer.
Pamela and I have been friends for over twenty years and I can honestly say that her commitment, strength and drive are a true inspiration to me and everyone she meets. I volunteer for various organization and T.E.A.L. is by the one with the most integrity. I am proud to be a volunteer there and be able to watch first hand as T.E.A.L. changes the face of ovarian cancer.
I have worked with Pamela and T.E.A.L. for the past four months, and I feel incredibly proud to be a part of the strides they are making for the cause. As a college student still, I admire Pamela's success immensely, and find T.E.A.L. to be a remarkable and inspiring family that I feel lucky to be a part of.
I have been involved with T.E.A.L. for just over a month now and I can confidently say that this organization is well run and really makes a difference in spreading awareness about Ovarian Cancer. Tell Every Amazing Lady About Ovarian Cancer not only raises funds for research but they also make it a key goal to educate women about the signs and symptoms of Ovarian Cancer. Educating women is key since there is no accurate screening test for this disease. A saying that is thrown around this organization a lot is "knowledge is power" and T.E.A.L. makes it their goal to Tell Every Amazing Lady they can about Ovarian Cancer.
I worked with Pamela for six months in preparation for the 4th Annual T.E.A.L. Walk and my experience there was amazing. The amount of time and effort that are put into each event is incredible especially for such a small organization. If you are passionate about Ovarian Cancer Awareness and can make it to the T.E.A.L. Walk be sure to go either as a volunteer or participant. The people there are truly incredible and will really inspire you!
I have been involved with T.E.A.L. Since day one, I am currently a proud Board Member working diligently everyday to make woman aware of the signs and symptoms of Ovarian Cancer. Not so long ago I knew nothing, I didn't even know there was another woman's cancer other than pink. To learn about Ovarian Cancer, to find out that there are no screenings, no routine test and not much money to fund awareness. I was appalled, so I have made a promise to my friend Louisa before she lost her battle with this silent killer, that I will TELL EVERY AMAZING LADY THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVARIAN CANCER. I will not let her down. I have met the most amazing woman the past four years, and sadly some of them are not with us anymore. This needs to stop, we need to make teal as recognizable as pink. We need to start saving lives. Together we CAN make a difference. DJ
Our mission is to raise awareness for this deadly disease. Women need MORE education and information and need to know the signs and symptoms of Ovarian Cancer. There are no self exams that you can perform. Women need to ask their doctors for specific tests to rule out Ovarian Cancer that kills fast! Our organization is here to HELP EDUCATE women and to get the color TEAL as big as PINK! Thank You!
My time spent volunteering for this of the nonprofit organization (T.E.A.L.) has been rewarding. Meeting members who are on the board of directors as well as others volunteers. The information provided that can can be passed on to others who are in need of assistance is rewarding and the results of those who are survivors have made a great impact within the community. Thanks for those involved in helping to spread the word to others that are less fortunate. Linda S
My name is Phyllis Esposito-Bellocchio. I am a Board Member at TEAL our mission is to TELL EVERY AMAZING LADY ABOUT OVARIAN CANCER. Our mission is in our name. My Cousin Louisa McGregor was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and we could not find a walk in NY. With that being said she started her own and myself along with our family members and friends were right behind her to accomplish her goal. We are the largest ovarian cancer walk in NYC. Unfortunately, we lost Louisa on March 8, 2012, she lost the battle to this silent killer. Louisa did everything in her power to tell everyone she came in contact with about Ovarian Cancer its symptoms and screenings. Myself along with the other board members and volunteers do everything in our power to work on awareness so that less women will be come in contact with this horror. Awareness is key. I am proud to say that our goal is to keep growing and move forward to raise awareness and funds that we can pass along to the wonderful people who are trying to treat and find a cure for ovarian cancer.
