There is no pre-screening test for ovarian cancer so it is typically not diagnosed until the it has spread to other tissues and organs. Outcomes are much better when the cancer is detected in the early stages. Without a test - awareness is crucial in fighting this cancer with silent symptoms.
Since 2016, The Jim and Juli Boeheim foundation has provided $25,000 for ovarian cancer awareness. We thank the Jim and Juli Boeheim foundation for their support of cancer advocacy and awareness in CNY and making it possible to spread awareness at the 2020 NYS Fair. Update: The fair was cancelled. The funds will be used to spread awareness using other mediums and media.
