Fayette County native Audrey Arrowood was only eight years old when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Today, Audrey is a 22-year-old survivor, studying to be a nurse. She wants to be able to make a difference in the lives of women, like so many nurses made for her during her ovarian cancer journey. A proud supporter of The Georgia Ovarian Cancer Alliance (GOCA), she is a mentor for other young women diagnosed with the disease. Audrey was recently a featured model at the Teal to Heal Fashion Show at Lenox Square Mall.
GOCA’s flagship fundraiser, the "Shaken, Not Stirred Gala" is Saturday, March 8th at the Georgia Aquarium. This elegant fundraising evening features The Celebrity All-Star Band, DJ Angelo Ferraro, incredible silent and live auctions, and, most importantly, moving survivor stories offering insight into their ovarian cancer journey. Les Dames d’Escoffier International (LDEI) – Atlanta Chapter, celebrating its tenth anniversary of partnership with GOCA, will curate an exceptional menu in honor of Dame Barbara Petit.
GOCA hosts a variety of outreach programs, survivor luncheons, and educational events. These include health fairs, corporate seminars, and community initiatives designed to spread awareness of ovarian cancer’s signs and symptoms, leading to earlier detection and better outcomes.
