Wendy’s Warriors Native Perennial Plant Sale brought together community members and supporters on May 2 for a meaningful day of giving back. 🌿💛

Organized in support of the Foundation for Women’s Cancer’s campaign by George Ericsson and friends, this annual event honors the life and legacy of his wife, Wendy Ericsson, who passed away from ovarian cancer in 2020.

Through their continued efforts, Wendy’s Warriors keeps her memory alive while raising awareness and support for the ovarian cancer community.

This year’s event raised over $1,000, reflecting the group’s ongoing commitment to making an impact and supporting women affected by gynecologic cancers.

When every voice is heard, research becomes more powerful. 💬

Reflecting back on the SGO 2026 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer in Puerto Rico, the Foundation for Women’s Cancer hosted a Poster Walk & Coffee Chat that brought together presenters, patients, survivors, and advocates for thoughtful, patient-centered conversations.

From innovative research to real-life impact, presenters connected directly with the communities their work is meant to serve, listening, learning, and exchanging perspectives.

👉 Browse the posters and read reflections from patient advocates who attended in person.

Join Drs. Kathleen N. Moore, Ana Oaknin, and Joyce Liu for a case-driven discussion on the latest clinical data for ADCs, strategies for personalizing treatment, and practical approaches to delivering these therapies safely in real-world settings.

CURE is helping shine a light on the importance of supporting caregivers throughout the cancer journey. 💜 CURE Today

In the article, “Centering Caregivers in Cancer Care,” Dr. Ginger Gardner, Chair, for the Foundation for Women's Cancer, highlights the emotional, physical, and often unseen role caregivers play while advocating for more compassionate, patient-and-caregiver-centered support systems. Supporting patients is a vital role caregivers play throughout the gyn cancer journey, and no one should navigate gynecologic cancer alone.

Mental health matters at every stage of the gynecologic cancer journey. 💜

A diagnosis impacts more than the body. It can affect emotional well-being, relationships, identity, and daily life. This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re reminding patients, survivors, advocates, healthcare providers, caregivers, and loved ones that asking for support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Whether it’s through community, counseling, rest, movement, or simply being heard, no one should navigate gynecologic cancer alone.

You are seen. You are supported. And your mental health matters, too.

Held on March 15 in support of the Foundation for Women’s Cancer campaign, the event highlighted the power of the arts to raise awareness for gynecologic cancers while supporting research and education initiatives.

Through 22 years of fundraising efforts, Dance Works has raised more than $114,000 for charitable causes, continuing its longstanding commitment to giving back through dance. This year’s event raised $6,275 and once again demonstrated how communities can come together to move the mission forward and support women impacted by gynecologic cancer.

Your emotional wellbeing matters just as much as your physical health, especially during a cancer diagnosis.💜

In this conversation, ovarian cancer survivor Carrie Regan joins oncology social worker Jennifer Bires to share the powerful role emotional support plays throughout treatment.

Today, take a moment to prioritize yourself. What helps you stay emotionally strong?

May is Cancer Research Month. 🔬💜

Behind every breakthrough is a community committed to discovery. We’re honoring the researchers, clinicians, and patients moving gynecologic oncology forward.

There are five gynecologic cancers: cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar, and each one needs targeted research. At the Foundation for Women’s Cancer, donor support fuels breakthrough research, education, and public awareness programs to improve prevention, detection, treatment, for every patient and survivor affected.

Help us move the message forward this May. Donate to support FWC Research Grants: https://foundationforwomenscancer.org/support-us/donate?c_src=26Gen_Socials_General
