Tee off for Teal is aimed at raising awareness and funds for ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of gynecologic cancer deaths among American women.
LI OCEANS is a grass roots, survivor led 501 c 3 Not-for-profit organization dedicated to the fight against ovarian and gynecologic cancers.
Every 7 minutes a woman is diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer. Each year, approximately 83,700 U.S. women are diagnosed with a cancer of the reproductive organs. To date; There is no test available to detect ovarian cancer; therefore, diagnosis is usually made at a very advanced stage when the 5-year survival rate is only about 20-25%. This is unacceptable! Together with the medical community, Long Island OCEANS is committed to finding an early detection test.
“ OVARIAN CANCER does not discriminate. It strikes tens of thousands of women every year regardless of race or age and will claim over 16,000 women this year; more deaths than all other gynecologic cancers combined. LI OCEANS believes 1 is too many. Early detection testing is needed to improve the cure rate. Our goal is to create awareness among women, the medical community and the greater population regarding early warning signs and symptoms that may be indicative of ovarian cancer, resulting in earlier detection. We must increase awareness by educating women, their families, and the healthcare community about the risks, symptoms and treatments of ovarian cancer. Until there’s a test word of mouth is best. LI OCEANS is committed to saving the lives of our Grandmother’s, Mother’s, Sisters, Daughters friends and neighbors. LI OCEANS is a beacon of hope for Ovarian and other gynecologic cancers.” Said Khrissy Lupinacci, Ovarian Cancer Survivor, advocate and Co-Founder of Long Island Oceans.
“ We are extremely honored and grateful to Russ Moran and the Indian Island Country Club for selecting Long Island OCEANS and our worthy cause for this years charity golf outing. In addition to raising money for research this event provides us with a platform to educate and advocate with the mission to eradicate this deadly disease. Our greatest asset in the fight against Ovarian and Gynecologic Cancer is our caring community. “ Said Khrissy Lupinacci.
Together we can save lives.
