The T.E.A.L.® Community Center Amazing Lady Window Project was created through collaboration with T.E.A.L.® volunteer Solange and students at P.S. 192 – The Magnet School for Math and Science Inquiry. Students created decorations for the windows, featuring a tree with heart-shaped flowers, that celebrate amazing ladies everywhere through interactive elements. The vibrant display captures the attention of passersby, who will be educated on the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer as they view the display. In addition to educational materials, a section of the window displays a QR code to a form where people can enter the name of a woman who’s name they’d like featured in the window. When a name is entered, the name will be added to the display. Visit https://forms.gle/R1ufUu1aCTURmtSX9 to submit a name for the display.
