2016 Basket Bingo Benefit:
We started May out with a bang at our 5th annual Basket Bingo Benefit. Nearly 400 people were in attendance and everyone seemed to have a great time! We had amazing prizes donated by awesome businesses which made for many happy winners! Because of the generosity of those that attended, we're excited to share that the event raised around $22,000 breaking our previous records! A huge thanks to each of you that attended, volunteered, donated, solicited donations on our behalf, and more! We are very grateful! We can't wait to see you next year!
Check out more photos of the event!
Meet Anat!
Ovar'coming Together is very excited to welcome intern Anat Berday-Sacks on board for the summer! Anat is a sophomore at the University of Maryland where she is currently studying government and politics, though as she points out, she's interested in many areas! She learned about Ovar'coming Together through Indiana INTERNnet. During her time here, Anat hopes to gain knowledge about the non-profit sector and its functions, have the opportunity to help meet needs of the organization and learn more about ovarian cancer. Prior to coming to Ovar'coming Together, Anat was involved with Exodus Refugee Immigration, another non-profit in Indianapolis that serves displaced persons. Her experience and enthusiasm to learn make her an excellent addition to Ovar for the summer and we're very much looking forward to getting to know her better! We hope you'll stop in and meet her too!
