Volunteers in Lewes tied teal ribbons around the city Wednesday as part of a national campaign to raise awareness for ovarian cancer.

The fight against cancer takes time, effort, and money. In a recent win in that fight The Bayhealth Cancer Institute raised $56,712 through their 2024 Go Pink! T-shirt campaign. To hit that big number they partnered with Premier Sponsor Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition (DBCC) to support breast cancer awareness and early detection efforts.

It is an encouraging trend, cancer mortality rates in Delaware have continued to drop, according to a new report from the Delaware Division of Public Health (DPH).
