Legistlative

The Foundation recently received an email from OCNA (Ovarian Cancer National Alliance) regarding the effects of "sequestration" that will take place shortly in Washington D.C. as a result of efforts (or lack of efforts) to balance the national budget. The effects can be devestating on medical research, as noted in the linked article, please consider reaching out to your elected representatives urging them not to cut important medical research funding such as cancer researching funding, specifically for ovarian cancer.

Executive Director, Jean Shipos was presented with the New Jersey Joint Legistlative Resolution by Assemblyman Benson at the 6th Annual Teal Tea. 

Dear Janice:

There is wonderful news out of Washington today for women with ovarian cancer and those who care about them. Congress has passed an omnibus appropriations bill for this fiscal year, which includes everything we asked for!
