Cronin Foundation Supports Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

For the 8th year, the Foundation joined with other organizations in MA in the Ovarian Cancer Awareness Campaign. In addition to a website – www.ovariancancerawareness.org – the coalition sponsored a webcast and statewide media campaign to encourage women to Get the Facts about Ovarian Cancer. The Turn it Teal campaign links teal-colored landmarks with an education and awareness campaign. Foundation President Nancy Farrell received a Teal Award at the coalition’s annual event in honor of her efforts on the campaign. For more information, please visit the coalition’s website.

The team members are sponsoring a special benefit game for a Lexington graduate, only 19 years old, who has ovarian cancer.
