TEAM MOLLY

For the past five years, the Massachusetts Ovarian Cancer Awareness has teamed up with the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) to promote ovarian cancer awareness with student athletes for the month of September. Last year, we lost a dear friend and all-star athlete, Molly Eisenberg of Lexington, MA to ovarian cancer. Molly was only 19 years old, but lived life to the fullest every day.

Inspired by Molly's heroic fight, The Ovarian Cancer Awareness Coalition, the MIAA and Reebok have been encouraged to create a campaign focused on ovarian cancer awareness and education, called Team Molly.

Team Molly symbolizes sportsmanship and teamwork, both on and off the field. TEAM MOLLY encourages high school students to educate their peers and family members on staying healthy, reminding them to take care of themselves, through exercise, doctors visits, a healthy lifestyle and awareness.

We are asking all sports teams to join TEAM MOLLY and help us create awareness at their schools about ovarian cancer, especially at home games/matches during September 20-25.

Together, in our effort to educate and raise awareness on ovarian cancer, we are all one team.
