Showbiz proudly supports the Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

In Australia, one in 77 women will develop ovarian cancer in their lifetime. It could be you, your sister, your mum, your gran or your daughter.

February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, a national campaign to raise awareness of ovarian cancer and to ensure that every woman knows the symptoms because there is no detection test. During Awareness Month, Ovarian Cancer Australia also invites the community to raise funds for vital research and support programs for women and their families touched by the disease.

Purchase tickets through Showbiz during February and we will donate to this very important cause on your behalf. You can also choose to add a donation to your transaction (100% will be passed to the fund) and together, we will be helping Ovarian Cancer Australia raise awareness, support women and their families affected by ovarian cancer, and fund vital research. You can also get involved by hosting your very own Afternoon Teal or wearing a Teal Ribbon on Wednesday 29 February.
