Community Events/September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
We will not be holding a walk this summer. It was a difficult decision but we needed to take a break. We are still keeping the organization going and are not ruling out future walks. We are looking at other fundraising ideas as well. Please let us know if you have any ideas! Thanks!!
Since 2004 we have raised $67,500 for cancer research! Thank you so much for your support! As of March 2010, we have donated $67,000 to OCRF and $500 to the Kidney Cancer Association (in memory of Anna Molloy).
The Sixth Annual Monica Williams
Walk for Ovarian Cancer
Thank you to all who attended The Sixth Annual Monica Williams Walk for Ovarian Cancer. The walk was held on July 11, 2009 in Lake Luzerne, NY. We had close to 150 walkers attend on a beautiful sunny day. We were able to raise over $7500! We truly approciate everyone's continued support! We couldn't do it without all of you.
The MONARCH Charitable Organization would like to thank our generous donors of raffle prizes and food who helped make this day possible.
