2016 T.E.A.L.® September Awareness Campaign

During September, which is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, T.E.A.L.® partners with local businesses and organizations to turn New York City and beyond teal to spread awareness about Ovarian Cancer. The goals of this campaign are to spread awareness of the signs, symptoms, and risk factors of Ovarian Cancer, to educate communities about the importance of early detection, to provide support to Ovarian Cancer survivors, and to generate funds for further research to find a cure and a screening test for this disease.

 

In additional to locally based awareness endeavors, T.E.A.L.®’s September Awareness Campaign continues to grow each year.  Nationally, T.E.A.L.® turns cities across the USA teal through our satellite T.E.A.L.® walks and runs and other awareness events. Globally, T.E.A.L.® spreads awareness by participating in opening bell ceremonies with global reach including the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (2016) and NASDAQ (2015) in addition to other global awareness activities.

September Awareness Campaign

T.E.A.L.® made great strides in drawing public attention to National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month thanks to its 2016 T.E.A.L.® September Awareness Campaign. T.E.A.L.® partnered with ®Turn The Towns Teal which provided ribbons to decorate trees in cities and towns across the United States. T.E.A.L.® joined forces with local businesses, schools and organizations in NYC and beyond to spread awareness about this disease by posting information in their storefronts and placing T.E.A.L.® Bows on the doors and trees in front of their establishments.

Throughout the month of September, some businesses also supported our efforts by running specials or other promotions to help us draw attention to this disease. We also continued our annual tradition of lighting buildings and monuments the color teal with a new addition of NYC’s City Hall! Plus, T.E.A.L.® celebrated the courage of Ovarian Cancer survivors and the strength of the families who’ve been touched by the disease, while spreading awareness to the public during the Annual T.E.A.L.® Walk/ Runs for Ovarian Cancer in many cities across the USA.

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month!

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. Walks for Ovarian Cancer

  • On Saturday, September 6th, the 6th Annual T.E.A.L. Walk/Run for Ovarian Cancer took place in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. The event is the largest in New York City dedicated to Ovarian Cancer.  It celebrates Ovarian Cancer survivors, as well as families and friends whose lives have been touched by the disease.  The T.E.A.L. Walk/Run continues to grow each year, while spreading awareness to the public and raising funds for research.  This year, The T.E.A.L. Walk and 5K Run were bigger and better than ever.
