Year, State Incorporated:
2009, NY

Founded in 2009 by two sisters from Brooklyn, NY to draw attention to ovarian cancer, Tell Every Amazing Lady® has grown to become a national movement.  Our goal is to decrease mortality rates by helping women identify signs and symptoms and urging them to seek medical help at the earliest possible stages. We believe that by equipping women with knowledge about the disease and its signs, and encouraging them to listen to their bodies, we can save lives. T.E.A.L.® ovarian cancer programs focus on providing support to patients and survivors, raising public awareness, and sharing resources with key partners in the struggle to end ovarian cancer. We are constantly in the community participating in health fairs, symposiums, and lectures at schools, universities, community centers, hospitals, and community meetings throughout the year to provide information about ovarian cancer and to address this important women’s health issue. Our programs function on the principle that awareness and education of ovarian cancer is empowering, and understanding this deadly disease is the first step toward fighting it.
