Norfolk-based Happy Feat Fundraiser recently donated $20,000 to Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer located in Framingham. Ovations’ mission is threefold. They seek to educate women about the often-dismissed warning signs of ovarian cancer. Their patient programs provide knowledge, hope and comfort to women diagnosed with ovarian cancer. And to a lesser degree, Ovations funds ovarian cancer research. Visit www.ovationsforthecure.org for more information about the organization.
