A Special Message from OCRA’s President & CEO

Portrait of OCRA CEO Audra Moran

Dear OCRA Community,

Earlier this week, we shared some exciting news as we close out Ovarian Cancer and Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month. OCRA is joining forces with The Clearity Foundation, further strengthening our commitment to supporting the ovarian and entire gynecologic cancer community.

Through this meaningful collaboration, we can expand the resources available to patients and families, ensuring that no one has to face gynecologic cancer alone. We look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks.

Your support is deeply appreciated, especially during this critical fundraising month. With 5 days to go, we are $89,599 shy of our $300,000 September fundraising goal. Please consider making a gift in support of this campaign, and help us achieve even more together. 

In gratitude,  

Audra Moran, President & CEO, OCRA
