Benefiting Sue's Gift - Gynecologic Cancer Support

Join us in raising awareness for ovarian cancer and supporting Coloradans affected by all seven types of gynecologic cancers — ovarian, fallopian tube, uterine/endometrial, cervical, vaginal, vulvar, and peritoneal.

This event proudly benefits Sue’s Gift – Gynecologic Cancer Support. At Sue’s Gift, we believe everyone deserves the best possible chance at survival, regardless of their financial or social circumstances. Our Financial Assistance Program helps individuals undergoing treatment for gynecologic cancer cover essential living expenses, easing the burden during an incredibly challenging time. In addition, our Peer Support Program —launched with a grant from the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance—trains survivors who are one year post-treatment to mentor those newly diagnosed with the same type of cancer. Research shows that individuals with strong emotional, social, and financial support throughout their cancer journey experience better outcomes and lower rates of PTSD. Your generosity directly supports these vital programs, bringing hope, strength, and practical assistance to those facing gynecologic cancer in Colorado.

The Be Ovary Aware racecourse offers a scenic, flat route that winds along the beautiful Fountain Creek. This out-and-back course follows the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail and begins and ends in America the Beautiful Park, located in the heart of Downtown Colorado Springs.
