About Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation
The Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization created as a tribute to the life, character and immense strength of Sandy Rollman, who passed away from advanced ovarian cancer in May 2000. Her sister Adriana Way and her nurse Robin Cohen started the organization to keep Sandy's memory alive while trying to prevent other women from having to endure the same pain as she did. Their mission is to fight for those who are fighting, speak for those who have fallen silent and provide for those who are working towards the end of ovarian cancer. Since its founding, SROCF has awarded over $3.7 million to ovarian cancer research, recently announcing a $500,000 contribution to the Stand Up to Cancer "Ovarian Cancer Dream Team."
