Kaleidoscope of Hope is pleased to announce its 3rd annual Turn the Towns Teal (TTTT) campaign, promoting awareness of ovarian cancer and its symptoms.  The 2009 campaign kicks on May 20 with a reception at Morristown Memorial’s Carol G. Simon Center from 6-8 p.m. and climaxes in September, National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, when hundreds of volunteers will be out tying teal ribbons and handing out symptom cards and literature on ovarian cancer locally, nationally and internationally. 

With that in mind, there’s a special emphasis to speak to women’s groups throughout the month of September in an effort to promote awareness of the silent symptoms of this disease.  If detected in the early stages, survival from ovarian cancer is 90 to 95%.  However, there’s currently NO early detection test for ovarian cancer, which is why the Turn the Towns Teal campaign delivers a very, very critical weapon to fighting the disease. 

The success of our awareness campaign depends upon volunteers.  If you’d like to volunteer, please contact us at turnthetownsteal@comcast.net.
