Our Support Programs
Lunch Bunch, a monthly luncheon at area restaurants hosted by LOCA, is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the company of other patients and survivors on the same journey as you. A chance to make connections, talk about the lows of treatment, celebrate the highs while living with cancer, and just enjoy the fellowship of friends. Every gynecological cancer patient or survivor in the Lowcountry area is invited! Please contact us if you'd like to be a part of this monthly luncheon.
Teal Totes, a bag of necessities gifted to women at the beginning of their treatment following gynecologic cancer diagnosis is an effort to let every patient in the Lowcountry area know we are here for you throughout the many phases of this journey! The full list of items included listed to the right.
Caregiver's Lunch, a quarterly get together for the loved ones and at home supporters of ovarian cancer patients and survivors to share experiences and strategies on how to best support their loved one throughout the cancer journey.
Survivors Teaching Students®, brings ovarian cancer survivors and caregivers into medical education programs to educate future healthcare providers about ovarian cancer by sharing stories of diagnosis, treatment and survivorship, along with facts about the disease. Medical/healthcare students interact with and learn from ovarian cancer survivors in a classroom setting. This program is an initiative sponsored by OCRA, the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance.
September Awareness Events, throughout the month of September which is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, our organization works with local businesses such as Kendra Scott, the Charleston RiverDogs and Respoke to increase awareness regarding ovarian cancer symptoms and our efforts to support local patients. If you're a business interested in hosting an awareness event please contact us at our email: lowcountryoc@gmail.com
