The Ovarian Cancer Circle team celebrates a successful evening at the 15th Annual Teal There’s a Cure fundraiser
The Ovarian Cancer Circle, Inspired by Robin Babbini, hosted its most successful fundraiser to date on November 14, raising over $50,000 for ovarian cancer research. The evening, filled with laughter and generosity, was a testament to the incredible support for the cause. Since its founding 13 years ago, The Ovarian Cancer Circle has raised more than $1 million to fund critical ovarian cancer research at the UCLA G.O. Discovery Lab, under the leadership of renowned gynecologic oncologist, Dr. Sanaz Memarandezah.
Over 100 guests attended the event, which was headlined by internationally acclaimed comedian Tehran and featured performances from comedy stars Kara with a K and Jodie Miller. The evening was filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a shared commitment to making a difference.
“We are especially grateful to the Woodland Hills Rotary for their generous $3,000 donation, which played a pivotal role in the event’s success. The excitement continued throughout the evening with a lively silent auction, while guests enjoyed a delicious dinner generously provided by the Woodland Hills Hilton Hotel,” said Circle founder Paulinda Schimmel-Babbini.
The Ovarian Cancer Circle was named in honor of her daughter Robin, who lost her battle with ovarian cancer at the age of 20. Since its inception, the organization has focused on raising awareness about the signs, symptoms, and early detection of ovarian cancer, as well as supporting advancements in treatment. The annual fundraiser serves as an important platform for educating the public and updating supporters on the latest research and breakthroughs in the fight against this disease.
