Our Mission.

Our mission is to raise funds for ovarian cancer research and increase awareness of the symptoms of this disease.

Twelve Years of Passionate Activism!

The Kaleidoscope of Hope Foundation (KOH) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that raises funds and acts as the primary advocate for ovarian cancer activism in the New Jersey area. KOH was founded in 2000 by three ovarian cancer survivors who turned their experiences with ovarian cancer into passionate activism.

The hope in Kaleidoscope of Hope represents the difference that early diagnostic tests or disease-specific therapy can make in the lives of women and their families.

Since 2000, the Kaleidoscope of Hope Foundation has raised and awarded over $2 million to help fund research for early detection and new treatment options.

With a little bit of hope and your help, we can boost the survival rates of women affected by ovarian cancer and change lives. Learn more about KOH.

The Season of Survivors

"Just before my diagnosis with Ovarian Cancer Stage IIIC in 2007, I was working double overtime as a senior executive of a thriving healthcare public relations and communications firm - putting in 50 hour weeks, traveling across the country...I was a robust, healthy mid-life woman...I believed that if something was wrong with my body, it would speak up, I would know it.

Well, I was wrong.
