Men In Teal (MIT) is a team of volunteer action heroes who have fought ovarian cancer with a friend or loved one and who have chosen to proactively draw the line to defy ovarian cancer in their community.
Building on your personal experiences as a partner who helped a loved one through the journey of ovarian cancer illness, MIT heroes are community champions who receive an on-going personalized education about ovarian cancer, it’s signs, symptoms, ways of diagnosis and most current treatment methods. You then go into your community to work locally to spread ovarian cancer awareness with the public, the media, and with local government officials.
By becoming a colleague in the “Men in Teal” outreach team, you will:
- Receive briefings and training to enhance your personal knowledge about ovarian cancer
- Be invited to live and virtual seminars where experts and scholars present the latest news about ovarian cancer, its diagnosis and treatment
- Help spread the word in your community by making physicians more acutely aware of ovarian cancer, urging them to participate in our free ovarian cancer awareness course and certification program, delivered digitally through our website at no cost
- Help organize, participate in, or attend local and national “town hall” events involving elected and appointed public officials in your community
- Be invited to participate in our Oral History Project by recording and sharing your personal experience with the disease
- Serve as our Education Center’s ambassador in your local community and honor your loved one by proactively interfacing with local media, elected officials, and the public.
