Started in 1999 by a small group of ovarian cancer survivors, Minnesota Ovarian Cancer Alliance (MOCA) has grown to be a dynamic force dedicated to raising awareness and funding the research needed to detect ovarian cancer early and treat it properly.

Over the past eight years, MOCA has funded over $2 million in ovarian cancer research and has developed a successful medical education program that reaches over 800 medical professionals a year.

We do more than provide resources for women with ovarian cancer and their families. Through regularly scheduled meetings, quarterly newsletters, a comprehensive website and fundraising and educational events, we provide a platform to share information and connect with others. We are a caring and hopeful community.

We are proud of the work we have accomplished and the community we have created. Now, we are determined to reach a larger audience. With your help, we can make great strides in the fight against ovarian cancer!

Your generosity is greatly appreciated!

MOCA is not a United Way agency organization and therefore we do not receive support for their general funds. Your specified support however helps MOCA achieve its mission, which includes funding ovarian cancer research, raising awareness of the disease and providing support to women with ovarian cancer and their families.

Matching Gift Information
Many companies have matching gift programs to encourage employees to donate to charitable organizations. Most of these programs match your contribution dollar for dollar and some will even double or triple the amount of your gift. If your employer has a matching gift program, MOCA will help you facilitate the paperwork.
