OUR MISSION
To Leverage 100% of Ferraro Foundation funding toward accelerating the prevention, detection, and cure of Ovarian cancer

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.
