PEAC Health & Fitness donated $1,076 to Teal Tea Foundation in recognition of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in September.

PEAC raised money through sales of Teal Tea items, such as jewelry and baseball caps, throughout the month. The group also hosted weekly, themed raffle baskets, with the cost of chances donated to Teal Tea.

In addition, all the proceeds from PEAC’s Fall Fest 5K on Oct. 19 were donated to Teal Tea Foundation.

Teal Tea Foundation is dedicated to raising ovarian cancer awareness and supporting research efforts focused on early detection, treatments and a cure for ovarian cancer. Its programs help women faced with ovarian cancer improve their quality of life during and after treatment.

The Teal Tea Foundation is a partner member of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance based in Washington, D.C. The Foundation also supports the awareness and research efforts of the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, the Fox Chase Cancer Center, Cooper Cancer Institute, and the Cancer Institute of New Jersey Foundation.
