In honor of all women who have fought Ovarian Cancer

Last year, 2,000 people participated in the Walk/Run and more than $200,000 was raised. As an incentive to raise more money, MOCA is offering prizes for the top pledge getters. The funds generated help MOCA achieve its mission of funding ovarian cancer research, raising awareness of the disease, and providing support to women with ovarian cancer and their families. In the past six years, MOCA has awarded more than $1.3 million for ovarian cancer research in Minnesota.

September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. By joining us in the Walk/Run event you are helping to raise funds for research, awareness and education activities on ovarian cancer in the state of Minnesota.
