Our MIssion

Fight the silence around ovarian cancer—with truth, action and relentless advocacy.

Raise Awareness

Help break the silence.

We’re breaking the silence around ovarian cancer—loudly and publicly. Our mission is to educate, share stories, and make sure more people recognize the signs before it’s too late. Awareness is the first step in changing outcomes, and we won’t stop until every woman knows what to look for—and what to do next.

Fund Research

Science brings hope.

100% of the net proceeds from the Second Annual Fundraising Festival go directly to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC). Funds are awarded through a grant proposal process to support research focused on early detection and treatment, and providing financial assistance to women and families affected by the disease.

Support the fighters

No one fights alone.

We’re here to support women at every stage of their journey—from diagnosis to treatment and beyond. Whether it’s connecting survivors, offering resources, or just being a voice on the other end of the phone, our community is built on strength.

Cory's Story

Cory Zera was only 47 years old when she lost her battle with ovarian cancer.

Her fiancé, Howard Grobstein, started Cory Fights Back in her honor—a movement to confront ovarian cancer with the same spirit Cory carried into every room.

  • What are the early warning signs of ovarian cancer and why is early detection so important?

    We place a high priority on educating the public about the subtle early warning signs of ovarian cancer, which can include bloating, pelvic pain, difficulty eating, and frequent urination. Because these symptoms are often mistaken for common gastrointestinal issues, raising awareness is crucial for early diagnosis. Our team distributes clear, accessible educational materials to help women recognize persistent changes in their bodies and consult healthcare professionals promptly. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes, making our educational initiatives essential to saving lives.
