Ovarian Cancer Screening & Research

One of KEHA’s main health objectives has been to assist in funding ovarian cancer screening and research at the University of Kentucky.  This program began in 1977, and members were asked to donate $1 each per year.  In recent years, many homemakers have contributed or raised much more than $1 each.  As of May 2023, KEHA’s lifetime contribution to the program is more than $1.62 million. If you would like to send a donation, mail check to:

Patsy Kinman
KEHA State Treasurer
310 Falmouth St.
Williamstown, KY 41097

Please note “ovarian cancer fund” in the memo of your check and include a note indicating your county and club.
