ABOUT TEAL ACROSS AMERICA

One story can change one life.

Teal Across America was founded by two ovarian cancer survivors with a shared purpose: to help people feel seen, heard, supported, and connected.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to change the future of ovarian cancer through storytelling, connection, and action, so every person impacted feels seen, heard, supported, and empowered with hope.

WHY WE EXIST

Connection can change how someone moves through cancer.

Every ovarian cancer experience is different. Teal Across America creates space for those experiences to be shared honestly, without asking every story to sound the same or end the same way.

By listening to real voices and building meaningful connections around them, we hope people find understanding, community, and more ways to take action together.

HOW WE MOVE FORWARD

Stories. Connection. Action.

STORIES

Make space for real experiences.

We share the voices of people affected by ovarian cancer so experiences that are often difficult to explain can still be heard.

CONNECTION

Help people find one another.

We create opportunities for shared understanding, community, and meaningful connection beyond any single diagnosis or treatment.

ACTION

Turn connection into something meaningful.

We want shared purpose to lead to experiences, partnerships, grants, and other ways of strengthening organizations and people creating change.

WHERE WE’RE GOING

Growing connection into lasting impact.

As Teal Across America grows, we want stories to open doors to meaningful experiences, stronger connections, partnerships, and grants that support organizations creating change.

The work may take different forms, but the purpose stays the same: bring people together and help hope move forward.
