Tee It Up 2020 - Special Announcement
The 11th annual Tee It Up golf scramble and dinner was scheduled for September 15, 2020. After much thought and consideration, the C.O.C.O. Board of Directors and the Tee It Up Committee decided to cancel this important fundraising event. As a health organization, we believe we should be a part of the effort to control the spike in COVID-19 numbers and protect the health of our participants and volunteers.
Tee It Up is C.O.C.O.'s main fundraiser to benefit ovarian cancer research legislation and awareness/education. Through this fundraiser, C.O.C.O. contributes to UK Markey Cancer Center's Ovarian Cancer Screening Program and the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance (OCRFA). Last year, we were able to donate $33,000 to the Ovarian Cancer Screening Program and $1,000 to OCRFA. We have donated over $171,000 to these two entities in the last 10 years.

We Need Your Help!
The Ovarian Cancer Screening Program needs your help in what appears to be a lean budget year. Dr. John van Nagell, the Director of the Ovarian Cancer Screening Program states “ We continue to provide free ovarian cancer screening to as many Kentucky women as possible, not only at the Markey Cancer Center in Lexington, but also at our satellite screening locations across the state. In these uncertain times, we’re committed to screening as many women as we can while also adhering to COVID-19 guidelines that will help keep our participants healthy and safe.”
