Ovarian Cancer Awareness Quilt
The Fox Chase Cancer Center Ovarian Cancer Awareness Quilt was completed in September 2002 by ovarian cancer patients, their family members, friends, and staff. The quilt is made up of 36 blocks that each tell a story and symbolize relationships. Many are embellished with small mementos like pins, buttons, embroidered words, all representing the experience of living with ovarian cancer, or loved ones honored, or even those who are working each day towards prevention and treatment. This artistic tribute to persons touched by ovarian cancer was crafted to travel, in order to raise awareness at community events. FRAP staff accompany the quilt to hospitals, faith communities, and various outreach events to offer education about this challenging disease. To learn more about hosting a quilt event, call 215-728-3672.
Fox Chase Cancer Center's mission is to reduce the burden of human cancer through the highest-quality programs in research and patient care, including cancer prevention, treatment, early detection and education. We are partners with many organizations, religious institutions and health ministries in the Philadelphia area. These partnerships enhance efforts to reach a large community audience where our trained staff can provide educational and screening programs.
The Community Outreach Partnership Program
The Community Outreach Partnership Program (COPP) is designed to increase minority involvement in clinical, behavioral and prevention trials through the delivery of cancer education and screening programs.
