This GivingTuesday, YOU Can Help Shape the Future of Ovarian and Gynecologic Cancer Care
Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA) is the world’s largest organization combating ovarian and all gynecologic cancers through groundbreaking research, impactful advocacy, and unparalleled patient support while forging new paths in prevention, education, and awareness. We are deeply grateful to our community, and on this global day of giving, we are asking for your support.
Here’s just a snapshot of what OCRA’s supporters helped us achieve this year:
- Launched a new Doctor Finder to help improve patients’ access to expert care.
- Introduced three new Health Equity Research Grants focused on addressing and reducing disparities in patient outcomes.
- Awarded $6 million in new research funding for projects to begin in 2025, bringing OCRA’s total research investment to $128 million.
- Supported over 95,000 people through our support programs and services, and continued expanding our programs for all gynecologic cancers, holding new caregiver sessions, sessions for our Spanish-speaking community and more.
Looking ahead to 2025, we will welcome The Clearity Foundation into the OCRA family. This exciting development combines OCRA’s leadership in research, advocacy, and patient support with Clearity’s expertise in providing personalized scientific education and guidance to women and families facing an ovarian cancer diagnosis, allowing us to strengthen our services for the entire gynecologic cancer community. The new year will also bring expanded efforts to support the international research community and the recruitment of the first patients to our ovarian and endometrial cancer registry.
