About Ovarian Cancer Circle
The Ovarian Cancer Circle is a Los Angeles–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2010 as a donor-facing organization to raise funds, increase awareness, and provide education and support around ovarian cancer. The organization was established by Paulinda Schimmel Babbini and operates programs and recurring public events to build community and direct resources to research and clinical partners. The Circle conducts annual fundraising programs (including the "Teal There's a Cure" luncheon, comedy night, and walk/run events), supports clinical research (notably partnership support of UCLA gynecologic oncology initiatives), and runs outreach and symptom-awareness resources for patients, families and providers. In recent years the organization has remained active with sold-out events and multi-year grant and donation activity supporting research and local awareness campaigns.
