Major recurring events hosted by the organization
The FWC hosts our annual Move4Her signature fundraising event that calls on everyone connected to women's health to move today for more tomorrows. The Foundation encourages everyone to commit to moving more and raising critical funds that support increased education initiatives, research funding, and targeted treatments for gynecologic cancers.

Through our #MoveTheMessage initiative, the FWC partners with organizations across the country to attend events and provide resources that primarily educate underserved populations about gynecologic cancers. These events have allowed the Foundation to distribute thousands of brochures to event attendees.
