The Kaleidoscope of Hope Foundation was created in 2000 when three ovarian cancer survivors -- Gail MacNeil, Lois Myers and Patty Stewart-Busso -- decided to turn their experiences with ovarian cancer into activism. The foundation, a 501(C)3 non-profit serves as New Jersey’s primary advocate and fund-raising organization dedicated solely to boosting the survival rate from ovarian cancer and bringing new hope to all the women and families affected by this disease. The “hope” in Kaleidoscope of Hope’s name is related to the difference that early diagnostic tests or disease-specific therapy would bring to many women and their families. Since its inception KOH has awarded over $1.5 million in ovarian cancer research grants. In 2009, combined with our corporate sponsors our Morris, Lyndhurst and Avon walkathons raised over $200,000 in our fight against ovarian cancer.
