Tell Every Amazing Lady (T.E.A.L.) will be raising awareness for a disease that affects all too many women each year. Ovarian Cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancers and the fifth most fatal type of cancer for women in the United States. Each year, approximately 22,000 women are diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, and about 15,500 women will die from the disease.
The symptoms of Ovarian Cancer are often vague and subtle, making it difficult to detect. There is currently no effective screening test for Ovarian Cancer, and most patients are diagnosed when their cancer is at an advanced stage. If Ovarian Cancer is detected and treated early on, however, the five-year survival rate is greater than 92%.
T.E.A.L. is committed to spreading awareness of the signs, symptoms, and risk factors for Ovarian Cancer and to raising money for research to help end this deadly disease. We are sponsoring a series of events in September and throughout the year to raise awareness and provide support for survivors, families, and friends:

T.E.A.L. has partnered with Maimonides Medical Center in the past to produce Ovarian Cancer Awareness events and informational materials, and Maimonides is a proud sponsor of the annual T.E.A.L. Walk/Run.
This year, Team Annie organized their first ever Team Fundraiser to raise money for the 6th Annual T.E.A.L. Walk/Run. The fundraiser took place at Callahan’s in East Meadow, New York and featured food, drinks, raffles, and music. The event was a great success and raised over $2000 for T.E.A.L.’s Ovarian Cancer research and awareness programs.
Team Annie’s fundraiser is honoring the life of Annie who lost her battle with Ovarian Cancer earlier this year.

Last month, T.E.A.L. had its first Pennsylvania T.E.A.L. Walk! Spearheaded by high school senior Trisha Zimmerman, the Walk took place at the Carrol Valley Community Park in Fairfield, PA. Trishia organized the project in memory of her grandmother Kathleen James who passed from Ovarian Cancer. Walk participants received custom made T.E.A.L. Walk T-Shirts designed by Trisha. The Walk was a great success, raising over $1,000 for T.E.A.L.’s Ovarian Cancer research and awareness programs.

Spring has sprung! And to celebrate, Team Bulls Eye organized their own spring shopping fundraiser and raffle to benefit T.E.A.L.

The event featured jewelry, household items, makeup, food, drinks, desserts, and more. Guests were invited to take part in the raffle which included items such as a Summer Wine Basket, a cooking basket, and more fun prizes.

Last month we invited 6 Ovarian Cancer Survivors for an exclusive T.E.A.L. photoshoot, where they were sent to hair and makeup and photographed by themselves, with each other and with their loved ones. Six portrait shots were chosen to be incorporated in our MTA ad below. Stay tuned for more images from our full campaign.
Survivors also had the opportunity to tell their story on camera, and share what their experience with Ovarian Cancer has been like.
It was a fabulous day thanks to the hard work of models Schern Yung, Ruthie Zuckerman, Jackie Dixon, Jackie Shapiro, Nancy Irizarry, and Ivette Alicea as well as the talented crew including photographer Jon Dennis, producer Lara Junod, makeup artist Elisa Flowers, hair stylist Mutsumi Higurashi, videographer Quianda Rao, and T.E.A.L. staff and volunteers. We’d also like to give a special thanks to Sandbox Studios.
Here are some behind the scenes shots from the day. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for more!
