WGCA's Annual Holiday Party
Holiday Party Recap
We would like to thank all of our
survivors and volunteers that attended
our holiday party this past weekend.
We are so very thankful for your
support and efforts to raise awareness
on the effects of gynecologic cancer.
Spending time with all of you this
season was truly a gift.
Your giving will print life saving symptom diary cards,
empower new patients and survivors through our social
support groups and support medical education initiatives to
train healthcare providers on the signs and symptoms of
gynecological cancer.

24 Ways to Help Those in the Hospital

Remember, the present of your "presence" will

would like done for you if you were in their place
instead. Happy Holidays from my home to
yours.
