Monthly Giving is easy. Simply specify a pre-authorized donation from your credit card or bank account each month and at the end of the year, you will have made a lasting contribution.

An 'In Memoriam' donation is a thoughtful tribute to the memory of a beloved family member or friend by giving a gift in their name. This is a distinctive way to commemorate the memory of a loved one by supporting an organization that is dedicated to overcoming ovarian cancer.
Your 'In Honour' donation is a meaningful way to salute a significant person in your life. Your gift could recognize a birthday, anniversary or a special friendship. The person you are honouring will receive a personalized card from Ovarian Cancer Canada recognizing your gift in their honour.
By popular demand, Ovarian Cancer Canada created a Special Occasion Donation Program to provide brides and grooms the opportunity to donate in honour of their guests (often in lieu of purchasing guest favours). We will provide you with a special note card recognizing your gift in their honour. It is a memorable and emotional gesture to underline a very special day.
Celebrate the life of someone close to you, donate in their name.
