Nominate Someone Who Exemplifies The Power Within

2026 Auction Table Honoree Nominations

The Power Within is the theme of the Powell-Drescher Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation’s 2026 Annual Auction, and we want the tables to honor the people who bring that theme to life.

The power to change the future of ovarian cancer exists within our community: in the resilience of survivors, the determination of researchers, and the passion of advocates who use their voices and experiences to create change.

We invite you to nominate a survivor, scientist, researcher, advocate, or other member of the ovarian cancer community who represents The Power Within. This might be someone whose courage has inspired others, whose work is advancing ovarian cancer research, whose advocacy has created meaningful change, or whose strength and determination have made a lasting impact on the people around them.

Selected nominees will be honored as table namesakes at our 2026 Annual Auction on September 26, with their photo and story displayed at the event.

Before submitting a nomination, please speak with the person you are nominating and confirm that they are comfortable being nominated and, if selected, being recognized at the auction. The Foundation will also contact each nominee directly to confirm their participation and gather or verify any additional information needed for their table display.

Because we have a limited number of tables available and a short timeline for preparing the displays, nominations will be considered and finalized on a rolling basis, based on the order in which complete nominations are received and nominee participation is confirmed. We encourage you to submit your nomination as soon as possible. Submission of a nomination does not guarantee selection.

Please tell us who you believe embodies The Power Within and why.
