Whether it’s a fun run, a marathon, a golf tournament, a gala, a bingo tournament—we all have our sweet spot in what excites us and motivates us to get out there, be active, get involved, and give back to the causes we care about. Over the last 17 years, the SHOC Foundation has hosted many Walk & Runs, Golf Tournaments, Auctions, Luncheons, and more. The steady and generous participation from our donors and advocates all these years—that’s you—has been integral. 
 
As the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted our lives in 2020 and 2021—both in the short and long term—it’s given us all a lot to think about. How we spend our days. Who we spend them with. Where we want to live. What’s important and what’s not. It’s forced us to rethink what we want, what we need, and how we’re going to get there. It's this very introspection that brings us here today.

It’s with much excitement and optimism that the
SHOC Foundation presents a new event for a new era...
The Best Event of the Year!

While this event reinforces our mission to raise funds for ovarian cancer research, increase public awareness, and bring support to the gynecologic cancer community, it also opens the door to inclusivity. Regardless of location, personal interest, or physical ability—this event is designed for you to honor or remember those in your life who inspired your participation with the SHOC Foundation in the first place.
 
The Best Event of the Year is whatever you want it to be, wherever you want it to be, and with whomever you want to do it with—even if that’s just you! Whatever your sport, hobby, pastime, or pleasure—this event is about getting out there and doing it. Whether that’s hitting the trail for a hike, enjoying a meal on a patio, getting dirty in the garden, beautifying the neighborhood with a litter pick-up, having a movie night, reading a book, flying a kite, working on a puzzle, sleeping in, rising with the sun, baking a loaf of bread, creating a personal challenge, getting a massage—if it makes you happy, that’s what it’s all about.

It’s one cause with infinite opportunities to honor, remember, and support those in our lives who have been afflicted by ovarian and other gynecologic cancers.
This is why it's the The Best Event of the Year!

SHOC's IMPACT IN THE LAB – 2022 UPDATE

In late 2019, OHSU shared with the SHOC Foundation
a 15-year Impact Report for our ongoing investment in
the work of Dr. Tanja Pejovic. This allowed Dr. Pejovic's lab
to invest in discoveries that are leading to advancements
and positive change in women with ovarian cancer.
Recently an update was provided on the most recent work
by Dr. Tanja Pejovic and her team.
