Mission Statement
The mission of the Powell-Drescher Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation is to power the future of ovarian cancer research by endowing funds and championing collaboration between scientist and survivor.
About This Cause
The Powell-Drescher Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation strives to foster breakthrough ovarian cancer research that will meaningfully improve ovarian cancer outcomes. This breakthrough research requires close collaboration between individuals who experience the disease and scientists who are trying to address the problem. A major obstacle is that survivors and people touched by ovarian cancer do not typically interact with the scientists who are working on its prevention, detection, treatment and/or cure. The Powell-Drescher Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation intends to address this obstacle through funding research that focuses on collaboration between the scientist and the survivor. Ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate of all gynecological cancers combined. Because there are fewer healthy survivors to help raise awareness of the disease, ovarian cancer research doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Together, the physician and the patient, the scientist and the survivor have the POWER to change the statistics. Survivors offer unique and indispensable perspectives to research, providing scientists with information to patients, and encouraging scientists to persevere in the face of the myriad of barriers. The Powell-Drescher Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation helps educate survivors about their role in research, sharing research advocacy opportunities with survivors, and facilitating opportunities for scientists and survivors to meet, naturally promoting collaborations.
