The Foundation for Women’s Cancer

The Foundation for Women’s Cancer (FWC) is the official foundation of SGO dedicated to outreach, education, and is the fundraising arm of SGO. Our missions are tied together. FWC fuels what we do, and what we do powers FWC.

FWC’s work includes:

  • Being a source of information for patients, families, caregivers and survivors
  • Creating a hub for education and materials for oncology teams
  • Fostering a holistic approach to the health of those affected by gynecologic cancers
  • Empowering patient advocates and survivors to teach, inspire, and guide our efforts
  • Raising money to support the work of SGO

We’re a resource for patients, their families, caregivers and survivors. Through FWC, we provide compassionate, patient-centered education and advocate for women’s health.

The month of September has been established as Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month (GCAM), with a goal of reaching more and more people each year.
