Introducing the Foundation

With faith, love and passion, let’s give 100% and put an end to ovarian cancer.

The Barbara T. Ferraro Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation focuses 100% of its time and resources on the prevention, detection and cure of ovarian cancer. We fund the most urgent pathways to a breakthrough and drive strategic advocacy in service to fast-tracking survival rates and a cure.

We are 100% grounded in the vision and testament of our founder, Barbara T. Ferraro

The Ferraro Foundation was the idea of Barbara T. Ferraro, who died of ovarian cancer in 2023. From the moment Barbara was diagnosed and along her six-year battle with ovarian cancer, she was determined to help as much as she was being helped. Barbara was always there for anyone she met that was battling cancer. She would immediately listen to their story, share hers and pray for them daily, all while staying in constant communication to share their victories and struggles. In keeping with Barbara’s life focus to love and love more, and her last wish to beat ovarian cancer, we are working relentlessly and with a laser focus to bring about a cure.
