In addition to the keynote speakers, the Teal Tea will include a plated lunch, a magic show, silent and live auctions, a fancy hat contest, table decorating contests, and special comments from and recognition of ovarian cancer survivors. The 2015 Teal Tea is dedicated to the memory of past president, Shari Widmayer, who lost her battle with ovarian cancer in July 2014.
Funds raised from the Tea will be donated to Stand Up to Cancer’s world-wide, ovarian cancer research team. The Teal Tea Foundation has pledged $50,000 to fund the SU2C initiative.
Tickets cost $60. Advanced registration is required at tealtea.org.
