The Mary Kay Foundation

The Mary Kay Foundation

The Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation was established to formalize the raising and distributing of research funds for cancers affecting women. In 2009, the name of the Foundation was changed to The Mary Kay Foundation.

The Mary Kay Foundation recently donated $15,000 to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition for their “Faces of Hope” TEAL Totes bags. The “Faces of Hope” program is designed to improve an ovarian cancer patient’s quality of life and survivability. These totes are given to newly diagnosed women to provide information and materials for those facing ovarian cancer. 

The TEAL Tote contains several publications, such as the Ovarian Cancer Resource Guide for Newly Diagnosed Women, as well as comfort items to help women through their ovarian cancer journey, including Mary Kay® Hand Cream and Mary Kay ® Lip Balm, and a large blanket and teal socks since keeping warm during chemotherapy treatment is very important to survivors. 

The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition is the leading national organization dedicated to providing the general public, patients, caregivers and healthcare communities and loved ones with accurate and up-to-date information on ovarian cancer.
