Turn Up the Heat: A Celebration of Women Chefs

Join the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance for an evening of delicious food that helps raise awareness of ovarian cancer and support programs for women with the devastating disease. We are once again teaming up with dozens of celebrated women chefs from the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. Our 8th Annual Gala highlights the best of these chefs’ talents and raises funds for ovarian cancer.

“Turn up the Heat: A Celebration of Women Chefs” will take place at the DC Ritz Carlton at 1150 22nd Street NW on Monday, February 4, 2013 at 6:30 PM. Jack Andraka, winner of the 2012 Gordon E. Moore Award from Intel, will present an update on his research into a paper test that detects pancreatic and ovarian cancers. Proceeds from the event will support our efforts to raise awareness, educate women and health care providers and advocate on behalf of women with ovarian cancer. We hope you will join us!

Tickets start at $275.

This Annual Gala celebrates life. We are grateful to all those who share this delicious evening with us.
