Hello, Fellow Survivors!

For those I haven't met, I'm Drea, a member of this Survivor Club and supporter of the Powell-Drescher Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation. I have an idea for this year’s auction, themed “The Power Within,” and I hope you’ll participate.

As Survivors—or “Thrivers,” as Elizabeth reminded us—we share hopes for earlier detection, better treatments, more options, and ultimately a cure. I believe that all of this is possible, but it requires advocacy, research, funding, and building continued awareness of the disease.

If you’ve attended a Powell-Drescher auction, you know how powerful it is when Survivors take the stage. This year, I’d love for us to go further by creating something that represents both our individual and collective voices.

A Survivor Power Basket made up of items from each of us representing where we find our Power Within. Each item will be wrapped and include a personal note—short or detailed—sharing who you are, why you chose it, and a message of reflection and hope.
Each item is meant to be passed on, allowing our message to continue beyond the auction. The winning bidder may keep or gift the items forward.

Donate something that represents your Power Within. This could be your time, a story, or a favorite item. You may fund it yourself or secure a donation (e.g., a gift card). Ideas include:

🧶 Hobbies or favorite activities
🧖 Self-care items (spa, treats, flowers, etc.)
📚️ Books, games, or quotes
🍴 Restaurants or destinations
🕯️ Relaxation items (candles, teas, music, etc.)

Email me at [email protected] by July 15, 2026 to participate. Share your item or I'm happy to help you brainstorm. Prepare your item and note -- you can wrap your item or I can help. We'll coordinate a time for me to collect your item. Submit your item and completed procurement form (found via the QR code in the image or using our Linktree) by August 1, 2026.

I'll assemble everything into a single basket for the auction.

Thank you for considering this. I know we're all busy and often tired, but our voices and stories are powerful -- and together, they are unstoppable. I'm grateful for each of you and excited to see this come together.

--Drea

As of today (Friday, May 22nd), there are only three days left to apply to our latest advocacy opportunity! Ovarian cancer advocates and survivors in the United States, take a moment to consider this opportunity and apply today!

The Powell-Drescher Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation is sending an ovarian cancer advocate to the Ovarian Cancer Midwest Forum (OCMF) to be held November 2-3, 2026, at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

The cost of the advocate's attendance at the conference, including travel and accommodations, will be covered by Powell-Drescher Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.

The advocate must be an ovarian cancer patient, survivor, family member, caregiver, previvor, or other person touched by ovarian cancer and must be able to attend all days of the Ovarian Cancer Midwest Forum, meaning attending all days November 2-3 in Rochester, MN.

Prior to the conference, the advocate will be expected to engage in pre-conference training coordinated by the Powell-Drescher Foundation and will meet with a scientist mentor before the conference. The advocate will be expected to share their experience as a representative of the Powell-Drescher Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation from selection through June 30, 2027.

The advocate may be asked to provide a summary of their conference experience for use on social media, the website, and/or elsewhere, to report on their ongoing advocacy activities, to speak at future Foundation presentations regarding the research advocate program, to speak about their experience at Foundation fundraising events, and/or to review future research advocate applications.

While at the conference, the advocate must be willing to promote the Powell-Drescher Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation and its mission. The advocate may not have any conflicts of interest with a Significantly Regulated Organization (SRO), as defined by the FDA.

As we reach four years of POWERING Ovarian Cancer research, Powell-Drescher Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation Co-Founder and President Sachia Stonefeld Powell reflects on what those last four years and beyond have meant to her.

"When I was little, I had a vague idea about what I thought my adult life would be like. It didn’t include a cancer diagnosis. Or establishing a nonprofit. And as a devoted humanities major heading to law school, I didn’t think I’d ever be in a position to tell a scientist something they didn’t already know. Why would I?

Four years ago, that changed. I had become a 5-year cancer survivor providing a critically important patient perspective to cancer researchers. In April 2022 I had the idea to establish a nonprofit dedicated to raising funds for ovarian cancer research while also addressing the gap in scientist-survivor collaboration. At the time, I wondered if anyone else cared about these issues. It turns out that they do."

Read the rest of Sachia's message by following the "4 Years of Powering Ovarian Cancer Research" link in our Linktree found in our bio.

What beautiful memories four years have brought! Thank you for creating them with us. From advocate attendance at conferences across the nation, to Tealing the Field, to our Power Lunches, and our annual auctions — every step of the way has been possible because of survivors, previvors, advocates, scientists, healthcare providers, and people like you. We look forward to making many more years of memories with you!
