Sanjana, our T.E.A.L.® Youth Ambassador, held a walk at her school in Devault, Pennsylvania to raise money during the National T.E.A.L.® Walk/Run/Ride on September 26th, 2021.

The Annual Cancer Awareness Day Event in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, was hosted by First Baptist Church of Crown Heights and held on September 18th, 2021. T.E.A.L.® provided awareness materials to attendees of the event to spread information about the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer as well as the foundation itself.
T.E.A.L.® wants to thank NY1 for helping raise awareness of ovarian cancer and National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month by airing a feature on September 3rd, 2020 about the foundation’s annual ribbon tying awareness event in Brooklyn on North Flatbush Avenue, Park Slope’s Fifth Avenue, and Myrtle Avenue.

On August 20, 2018, T.E.A.L® partnered with Turn the Towns Teal® and tied teal ribbons along 5th Avenue and Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, NY. T.E.A.L.® partnered with the North Flatbush Avenue BID and the Fifth Avenue BID to decorate the town with Teal. The ribbons stayed up throughout the month of September, which is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. This was an amazing event to raise awareness of ovarian cancer to thousands of New Yorkers.

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.
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.
