CauseKeepers

CauseKeepers is headed to our Nation's Capital for the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance annual Power Is Teal conference.  OCNA has been a wonderful partner with CauseKeepers for many years and we are very excited to be a part of this year's conference.

For the past twelve years, the Power Is Teal Conference has been the national epicenter for researchers, clinicians, survivors and friends to come together and learn from one another about how to improve diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life for women with ovarian cancer.  Each year more voices are added.  Each year, more information is shared.  Each year, we move that much closer to saving women's lives, together.
Now in its thirteenth year, the theme of the Annual Conference is Power is Teal. It is an affirmation that we are being seen and heard from coast to coast, and from laboratories to legislatures. Since the founding of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, the focus has been to bring the issues surrounding this deadly disease to the attention of law makers; to increase funding for medical and scientific research; and to increase awareness about the symptoms of ovarian cancer so that more women and their doctors will know how to identify it in the early stages, when survival is highest. This year, the Power is Teal Conference will be held July 10-13, 2010 in Washington, DC.

As we all know, the political arena is beset with many challenges and distractions. Speakers at the Conference will discuss how health-care reform affects the ovarian cancer community and why now, perhaps more than any previous time, our voices need to be heard. You will hear why and how we need to remind our legislators that lives are at stake and our battle against this deadly disease has not yet been won.
Our weapons are our stories and the courage to speak up on Advocacy Day to let Congress and the Administration know we will not allow our cause to be silenced. This year's Power Is Teal Conference is an opportunity to come together as one voice with many stories, one voice with many lives. This is our way of flexing our collective muscles and making a difference for women.

Please join CauseKeepers and OCNA in the Nation's Capitol this July 10-13 as we work together to further this cause. Click on the image below and get your own Power Is Teal t-shirt to help support OCNA and to "Make Your Passion Known".
