Holiday cards for a cause

Make the holidays special this year with The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF), whose mission is to fund research to find a method of early detection and ultimately a cure for ovarian cancer, the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers. OCRF has created a beautifully designed set of four holiday cards (Joy, Happy Holidays, Peace, Seasons Greetings) that will be available this year for purchase at www.ocrf.org/shop. 100% of the proceeds will benefit OCRF.

This year, designer Marian Williams created a set of four holiday cards especially for OCRF. Printed by our friends at Graphic Suisse, 100% of proceeds will benefit OCRF.

About Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States. The American Cancer Society estimates that over 22,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the U.S. in 2008 and about 15,520 women will die from it. If ovarian cancer is detected in early stages (before it has spread outside the ovary), treatment is often very successful, with five-year survival rates of about 92 percent. However, less than 20 percent of the cancers are detected in early stages. Thus, the average five-year survival rate is just 45 percent. The deaths compared to those who are diagnosed are staggering but we can do something to change this.

About the Cards
