About Our Organization
All proceeds from KICKIN' CANCER! benefit the Lynne Cohen Foundation for Ovarian Cancer Research. OUR MISSION:
To support and enable collaborative, multi-institutional research combating ovarian cancer through prevention and early detection. OUR HISTORY
Established in 1998, the Lynne Cohen Foundation is dedicated to the memory of its namesake, who died of ovarian cancer. The Lynne Cohen Foundation is a national, nonprofit organization uniquely positioned to fight ovarian cancer. A network of preventive care clinics, a consortium of researchers from prestigious cancer centers around the country, and a national registry of high-risk patients from geographically diverse communities comprise the core of our direct efforts. From this multi-institutional research platform, we seek to increase survival rates for women with ovarian cancer by supporting research for the prevention and early detection of ovarian and breast cancer. Since 1998: - We have donated nearly $6 million dollars to support the early detection and prevention of ovarian and breast cancer,
- We have grown our database of supporters to more than 35,000 nationwide,
- We have helped 39 families set up a named Tribute Fund in honor or in memory of a loved affected by ovarian and breast cancer,
- We have created and funded five preventive care programs for women at increased risk of ovarian and breast cancer,
- We have established the Lynne Cohen Consortium to support and facilitate highly-focused, collaborative research to improve the survival rates of women with ovarian cancer.
