They did it again! Last month, Newk's Eatery marked the opening of their 100th store by uniting all of their restaurants to raise a total of $100,000 for OCRFA. Newk's customers and online donors rallied behind the campaign and made a huge impact, surpassing their goal! OCRFA is grateful to Newk's Eatery and their philanthropic initiative Newk's Cares for their commitment to finding a cure for ovarian cancer.

OCRFA Team Hope

On April 16, over 140 people gathered at Lincoln Fire Company #56 in Conshohocken, PA for a bingo fundraiser for OCRFA. Kerri DeCaro, whose mother, Kathy DeCaro passed away from ovarian cancer in January 2015, hosted the second annual event. With help from the community, Kerri raised $4,365 for OCRFA in honor of her mother, and is already planning her third annual event for next year!
