Family and friends of Mrs. Mary Anne Mazanec, a CCI patient who passed away in 2009 after a courageous battle with ovarian cancer, make a $2,500 donation to the Cooper Cancer Institute to benefit the CCI Patient in Need fund. This provides direct support to patients with ovarian cancer in financial need.
Mary Anne lived her life inspired by the adage, “My joy is found in the joy of others.” To carry on her legacy, Mary Anne’s husband Tom, together with their children and other family members, formed the Mary Anne Mazanec Ovarian Cancer Foundation to continue her life-long dedication to helping others.
Through various fundraising efforts the foundation was able to support CCI and other ovarian cancer-related organizations and initiatives.
